This is exceptional and came like a revelation! When wondering when this beautiful piece of silver work was made I first thought made in the renaissance or possibly even as recent as art nouveau . . . . . . but I sensed a certain Celtic influence and wondered about early Scottish . . . . . . . . .
Isn't it beautiful?
THE ANSWER?
