Black Goat Ash Tray

Description

This ashtray, made of metal, incorporates a large number of motifs into it. The posterior base of the ashtray has a large six-petalled floral motif, while faunal imagery is visible in the form of the black goat's carved head and horns. In addition, the very shape of the ashtray, in incorporating the floral and the faunal, becomes resemblant of the ambi motif. It is also an interesting instance of a utilitarian object being adorned with some intricacy and detail, expressing skill and craftsmanship.
