Description
A tobacco jar, carved from exotic wood, depicting the head – flanked by two large, well-defined ears – of a grey-haired, wrinkled and bald old man with narrowed eyes and a bitter-looking mouth, which might be that of a native of the tropics. The skull serves as a lid.
Exotic wood, 20th century
No mark, but handcrafted – perhaps by a convict. Signed KOT.
Height: 18.5 cm
