-Boxer Head- still bank c. 20th century

This anonymous 20th-century ceramic sculpture is a charming example of a "still bank" or money box. The realistic portrayal of a boxer dog's head is depicted with a keen eye for detail, and the brown and black glaze creates a sense of depth and realism. The piece's small size, measuring 2 5/8 x 2 3/4 x 2 9/16 in., makes it perfect for a mantlepiece or shelf. The inclusion of a key and padlock on the dog's collar adds a touch of whimsy.
