Pig at Trough Folk Art Ashtray Frog seal This gorgeous wooden barrel shapedSuch a fun thing, which if not to be used as an ashtray, might make a memorable business card holder, or could serve sink side for stashing rings. It's heavy, and definitely more or less industructible, with a great patina to the metal (which I believe is brass but I guess could possibly be steel given a brass like finish), and which is screwed to the thick wooden base. Found in Massachusetts but I have no idea of its origins. 7 1 2" long x 5" wide x
