Right from my "keeper" collection after over a decade. This a bizarre little bronze ashtray that is a figural head with an open mouth for ashes. It measures a petite 3 1/2" by 3 1/2" wide, including its ears, and it possesses a rich, deep patina that I would bet is original. It's got the heavy solid feel to it, expected in bronze, and the dark patina is rich and desired.
The details are excellent from its furrowed brow andpiercing eyes to his raised horns and nose. His mouth is rather large for putting out butts, and he is unmarked. I'm not sure exactly what he represents, whether he is a devil or demon, or some sort of diety, god, or mythological creature. I'd love to hear your opinions...I don't think this represents any sort of negativity, though...if I thought it did, I'd have never have been drawn to it.
In original and excellent condition, this special piece is free of damage or repair. It's fun, whimsical, and a little bizarre...you will not be disappointed. |
