Object Description

A whimsical Italian walnut carving of a man with a donkey’s head, the naturalistically carved head of the donkey, with furry ears and a curly mane growing to a point beyond his collar, is set upon the slender body of a dandy wearing a double-breasted tailcoat, breeches, a stiff upright collar with a bow at the neck and further bows on his shoes, carrying a top-hat, a walking cane and a folded coat over his arm, standing on a pile of five books one of which is a vocabulary of the Italian Language by Fanfani, Florence and the other a philosophical treatise. Circa 1890.
