Silver Medusa

They call this one "the medusa" for obvious reasons! This is an outstanding, massive, terribly dramatic example of the classic old European silvers which made Saxony so wealthy! This specimen was sold to Ed in the early 1990s, and actually sold with part of his previous collection. He got it back later! It is pristine and complete all around and consists of THICK ropes and wires around a central core of native arsenic and silver ore
