A characterful pair of miniature sterling silver llama menu or place card holders, probably of Peruvian origin.
Each llama stands on a textured oval base, with detailed fleece, upright ears and a saddle blanket across its back. A folded silver clip behind the saddle holds a place card or small menu. Attractive little pieces of novelty table silver, equally suited to display in a collection of miniatures.
