The reverse of the trident fork is marked 800 for 800 silver, so 80 percent pure silver. Most likely of Italian origin, and from Bologna itself ! Weighs approximately 16.8 grams, Approximately 15.3 cm (6 inches) in total height form top of miniature trident to trident fork bottom, and approximately 1.87 cm (11.8/16 of an inch) at its widest trident fork bottom, with the miniature Neptune silver sculpture being approximately 3.85 cm (1 8/16 or 1.5 inch) in height from head top to bottom of feet, and approximately 9.7 mm (6/16 of an inch) in shoulder width. This is the most beautiful miniature depiction of Giambolognas Neptune sculpture I have yet encountered and in the form of a trident fork, now how cool is that ?! Specifically designed for eating fish ! Better suited as a miniature art piece ! Check the 1566 Fountain of Neptune by Giambologna (last two images, NOT included in sale, for reference only)! Which is even located in the Italian city of Bologna ! Pity the fork did not include the lactating mermaids, price would have easily tripled... No baloney here ! One of the cutest forks I have ever seen, how about you ?! Miniature sculpture at its best ! I can see it being converted to a bracelet, pendant Neptune and Trident brooch, or in its lovely self (most recommended to leave such original art pieces in their original condition). Do you love Neptune or Poseidon or even mermaids ? Then this is a fork made just for you ! Will continue........ Feel free to check out my other Cool Silver Collection 🧜♀️
* Overall beautiful condition, no damage detected ! Very light signs of wear as illustrated in the detailed images !
