Fancy Furs, Mother's Muff, c. 1900 Cotrell & Leonard, Albany, NY Paper Label, Mounted, As Found political ashtrays It appears that her neck

It appears that her neck broke at some point but was carefully glued back in place and now seems stable

16 1/2" t x 7" w x 1 3/16" thick and in good condition

I'm guessing that the leather strip threaded through the cheeks of this old primitively carved figure once formed a loop by which it hung

with general wear to the box and a bit of paint loss

Fancy Furs, Mother's Muff, c. 1900 Cotrell & Leonard, Albany, NY Paper Label, Mounted, As Found political ashtrays It appears that her neckThis made me laugh, and then think of French surrealism. "Mothers muff" and then "muff" again, handwritten on a paper "Fancy Furs" label from Cotrell & Loeonard fur shop, Albany NY. Great label, terrific lion, and even better as a found object. C. 1900. 8 3 8 x 8 3 8 as mounted to gray board. Very good condition.
