The piece has a crisp, geometric outline with a soft touch of scrollwork at the top, capturing that later-Art Deco feel where bold symmetry meets a touch of earlier ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"771\" data-end=\"981\"\u003eThe small shield at the base is finished in silver gilt, providing a subtle contrast to the polished silver body.
