An un-branded patinated cast metal figural card tray modelled as a standing anthropomorphic monkey holding an oval tray with both hands. The figure is cast in an upright standing pose with textured fur detailing throughout the body and incised facial features. The tail extends downwards to form a terminal curl serving as a third point of balance. The metal exhibits an uneven dark green and grey verdigris patinated finish. The underside of the feet displays rough casting texture and filing marks with no visible maker marks or foundry stamps.
Height: 11 inches.
