This was a gift to my mom, which hung on her wall for many years. It came from Italy. The warranty and artist signature is attached to the back,I know very little except what is on this piece of art. , The total weight with the wood is 7.4 pounds ( see photo_ and the silver part measurements are also in photo's . Please message me with any ?s and I will try to answer to the best of my knowledge,l some more info. A plaque marked "Ag 925" indicates that the item is made of Sterling Silver.Here is a breakdown of what this means:Ag 925 (Sterling Silver): The "Ag" stands for Argentum (Latin for silver), and "925" means the item is 92.5% pure silver, mixed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to improve durability. I have seen this piece on auction websites, but was unable to get the final price it sold for, Therefore, I am selling for its''s art value only, as it is a beautiful piece, and cannot guarantee it is solid silver. I am only stating what the warranty claims on the back of the piece.
