Silver keyring snake

Silver keyring snake hand made in 925f sterling silver. The snake is attched to the keyring through a leather cord and is enamelled in the colours green, black and white.

The first known enameled pieces go back to arrohns 1500 b.c., but it took to the 17th-century a.D. to evolve to the technique of painted enameling leading to the highest quality in the time of the art nouveau. Here is a snake key holder in sterling silver covered in painted enamel to give you an example.
