This ceramic "Cat Head" still bank, created around 1920 by an unknown artist, is a charming example of folk art. The whimsical, hand-crafted piece features a detailed cat head with a stylized, almost cartoonish expression. Its teal glaze adds a vibrant touch, highlighting the molded details of the fur and facial features. This playful object, likely intended for children, embodies the popular tradition of animal-shaped money banks. It is currently part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
