Fanciful tobacco holder with detailed molding of a goat and hunter. The piece has humor, with the hunted attacking the hunter. The hunter has had too much to drink and is sitting on his gun, giving the mountain goat a chance to be the aggressor.A fired red clay molded sculptural figure with two molded open compartments. The small one is for holding matches and the larger one is for cigars. The detailing is very good, showing the fur on the goat, the beard and hair on the man, grass, ferns, the clothing, and facial features. The sculpting reminds me of the Black Forest wood carvings.a€?2017 CSa€ has been stamped on underneath.MEASUREMENTS 8a€ (20.3 cm) wide x 6 ??a€ (15.9 cm) deeps x 6a€ (15.2 cm) tall.
