Description
Source; Bolivia or Peru 18th century. Silver. It has silversmith marks. Measurements: 7 x 37,5 cm. Weight: 1400 grams. Silver fountain with a sober design of classic aesthetics and simple lines. The ornamentation is only found in the way of conceiving the eaves, which have a finish based on flowing lines that create projections and protrusions. Novo-Hispanic craftsmanship would reach very high levels of finesse and quality worthy of European work.
