Description: Another great modern and highly stylized design by Karl or Franz Hagenauer.  This is a rare find and we have never seen another exactly like it, but we have seen some others of different forms, such as the fish we currently have on offer, or a hand that were executed in the same thick brass but flat manner.  

Marked on the bottom as shown, “Handmade”, “wHw” in circle mark, “Made in Austria” and “Hagenauer Wien”.
