From a smoke free home, has been displayed but is in good condition. I have added dimensions in the pictures, I am unsure exactly what the original purpose was, I do not believe it was an ashtray or if it was it was never used as one. There are three little feet or risers on the back of it. Very detailed, you can even see the teeth. Before packing it is just over 1 pound 4 ounces. Please see pictures for the best description.
