Collector’s Note:
Tops of this quality were once both playthings and crafted objects, designed to last and often embellished with maker’s marks. The survival of its cloth case makes this example especially rare. Collectors will value its originality and emblem, while decorators will appreciate its sculptural form and warm surface—perfect as a tactile accent atop books, under a cloche, or within a cabinet of curiosities.
