Description
This striking stirrup cup is crafted in the detailed likeness of a fox’s head, capturing both elegance of traditional metalwork and the lively spirit of the animal. Exquisite texturing finely chased lines mimic the layered, flowing texture of natural fur across the snout and the brow. Expressive features alerted to sculpted ears pointing upward, flanking a prominent, highly detailed eye that gives the piece an alive, watchful quality. Gracefully formed silhouette, transitioning seamlessly into the wide, functional opening of the cup at the back. Dynamically contrasted to catch the light beautifully, while the darker, recessed details emphasize the intricate artistry of the engraving.
