Master engraver Ken C. Hunt has painstakingly engraved and carved this Purdey side-by-side shotgun, culminating on the receiver's bottom with a remarkable recreation of Sandro Botticelli's timeless painting "The Birth of Venus."

This extraordinary piece was commissioned by astute collector Norman R. Blank from the world renowned gunmakers at Purdey - a fantastic blend of arms and artistry.

Truly, not all art is framed.
