This is a cast of a Rat's Tail; an exact replica of the original, produced from recycled 925 sterling silver, using the age old technique of lost wax casting. One of my favourite pieces, no less because it looks like an elephants tusk. The detail in the casting is second to none. It was found in a friend's barn, all dried up yet perfectly intact. Great on a leather thong or chain. It is hallmarked and measures approximately 14cm in length. It comes on an 18", 1.7mm Silver Belcher chain.
