Snuff Using Monk - Small 19th C. Antique German Figure - Hand Carved, Painted:
$95.00
Older German figure carvings like this one are my favorites -- so much humor and character! This one is of a jolly monk enjoying a pinch of snuff. I\'ve never seen another one like it -- of a person taking snuff.For a long time, until the middle of the 19th century the snuff habit was pervasive and universally accepted. Even kings and queens used it. But I\'ve never seen a carving showing it!He holds his snuff box in his other hand.This is in excellent condition.
5\" tall.Probably dates to around the 1890s although most folks had stopped snuffing by then and switched to pipes or Turkish cigarettes.
