This collectible figurine commemorating the launch of Sputnik 1, produced in the late 1950s or 1960s, is a quintessential relic of Soviet Space Age culture. Crafted in polished silvery metal with sleek, streamlined satellite arms, it sits atop a domed brass- or gold-toned base with a semi-gloss metallic sheen. On the base, embossed inscriptions—'4.X.1957' and 'CCCP' in Cyrillic—refer directly to this landmark moment in the history of space exploration. The construction is precise and solid, with crisp geometric lines echoing the optimism and clarity of 1960s mid-century modern design. The figurine remains in very good condition, with sharp detailing and no visible damage. The original cardboard box is present, adorned with saturated blue hues, a yellow rocket, white stars, and stylized cosmic motifs, all rendered in period graphics.The object embodies the spirit of an era when humanity first gazed up with new hope and awe at technological progress. Its form channels the narrative of the space race: the dynamic, streamlined shape of the Sputnik seems to 'hover' over its golden base, capturing the immediate aftermath of Soviet cosmic achievement and the global fascination it sparked. The metallic sheen, geometric simplicity, and flawless surfaces quietly evoke both a nation's pride and a world captivated by dreams of exploring the universe—Sputnik stood not only as the first artificial satellite, but as a symbol of ambition and boundary-pushing ingenuity.Such a keepsake would complement both a collector’s study of historic artifacts and a minimalist shelf in a modern setting with retro accents. It might be paired with other Space Age elements—chrome lighting, geometric sculptures, or vintage star maps. In more eclectic interiors, it would place
