From an old stash of these East German classics, put together during the days when the Soviets mined the place, this is the first of several unusually large and showy silver specimens! The Pohla silvers are known for their extremely photogenic herringbone-like crystallization, which you see here in all its intricate beauty. The silver is embedded in and flowering out from massive matrix of silver and arsenic ore. This piece has a huge display face, just covered with good quality silver of a style that made theis one of the more famous silver localities for colelctors for many years. Today, they are hard to obtain. Complete coverage is present on BOTH SIDES, by the way, although the front is crystallized mor enicely.
