"Rare And Old Tobacco Pot, Folk Art Circa 1880 / Skull Vanity Memento Mori"
Quick description Rare and old tobacco pot, popular art around 1880.
Sculpture probably from Germany, in the shape of a skull in what seems to me to be elm.
A snake with glass eyes roams the room, a beautiful symbol of vanity, memento mori.
The flower-shaped fretel is made of cast iron and brass.
Good general state of conservation, very interesting piece.
