One useful distinction
A silver sculpture need not be silver all the way through.
The reliquary bust of Saint Yrieix brings silver sheets, a wooden core and other materials together. Its importance lies in the complete work, not just a metal total.
That distinction travels from museum objects to a miniature on a wooden plinth. Identify the material, understand how it was made, and keep what is known separate from what is assumed.

Many traditions. Individual objects.
This hub begins with documented examples from ancient Egypt and Greece, medieval Europe and eastern India, the Inca Andes, Japanese metalwork, and modern makers. It is a route into the subject, not a claim to cover every tradition.
Museum photographs are identified to individual objects, with source references in the history and subject guides. The collection gallery and its existing object stories stay in place, with original photographs by Rich Silver. External maker pages are research sources, not promises of stock or future value.
