The theme of this mid century ashtray is of mythological inspiration, to be precise it refers to the epic poem of the 12 Labors of Hercules or Labors of Heracles. In fact, the ashtray has the shape of the skin of a Lion of Nemean, an animal with impenetrable fur, beaten and killed by Hercules during his first Labor and with whose fur he made his armor. The ashtray is excellently made using a mold and then finished by hand. In good vintage condition, it has a wonderful patina of the time. See less
