Saint Michael, silver miniature figure on ornate base

A small silver figure of a winged armored warrior stands on a round plinth set on a richly chased, scrolled base. He wears a plumed helmet and a flowing cloak, with one arm raised and the other holding a sword. The surface is polished and reflects light, and the rococo-style base is decorated with foliage and scrollwork.
