Tang carved with an anthropomorphic figure. Miquelet lock, signed “BARBUTI”, with elegant floral engravings; working two-stage mechanism. Full wooden stock with spectacular iron mounts, finely engraved and pierced, adorned with human and winged figures, grotesque masks, and faces hidden among dense vegetal motifs (minor missing part).
