This ashtray is distinguished by its sculptural form, resting on three stylized faces finely carved from wood. The hollowed-out upper section forms the receptacle, with an irregular opening that accentuates its organic and authentic appearance. The wood has a deep, dark patina, marked by time, with cracks and irregularities that attest to its age and unique character. Breaking the line between utilitarian object and sculpture, this ashtray can also be repurposed as a decorative object or ethnic piece, adding a strong visual presence to an interior.
