1.8-oz. Vintage Peruvian Handmade Genuine Sterling 925 Silver Camusso Brand Llama Figurine

This sterling silver miniature depicts a classic Peruvian llama, capturing the traditional animalier heritage of South American silverwork. Manufactured by the historic industrial silversmith Carlo Mario Camusso S.A. in Lima, Peru, this piece dates precisely to the 1970s or 1980s, a prolific era when the firm exported premium hollowware and highly detailed animal figurines globally, frequently found in specialized European boutiques.

The figurine showcases extensive hand-chiseled texturing across the blanket and fleece, replicating the natural appearance of the animal's coat. It stands firmly on an integrated, hollow-cast silver base that has been personalized with the engraved names "Camilla" and "Yon". Unlike many weighted silver ornaments from this era, this figurine contains no resin or plaster filling; the total declared weight consists entirely of precious metal.

The Camusso workshop, founded by Italian-born silversmiths, became famous for blending European technical standards with traditional Peruvian motifs, making this a cross-cultural collectible for enthusiasts of fine twentieth-century silver sculpture.
