Very nice - very heavy - wonderful abstract asymmetrical design. This one has been in storage for many years and I actually took a polishing cloth to it. I wanted to make sure it would shine up. I didn't go crazy with the cloth - I will leave that up to the new owner. It is stamped on the inside with the sterling verbage and A Marion hallmark. There is a lovely running horse to one side.

I have several pieces from this talented family. I often wonder if they ever view their works on ebay and remember creating them. It is an open cuff design and is exceedingly heavy and strong. It weighs 41 grams if that is important to you. Only piece I have so it will not be relisted once sold. Ask any questions before your purchase.
