Rare and decorative, this silver-plated metal object features a finely sculpted fox head at its center, holding a hunting whip in its mouth. Likely used as a trinket tray or, more commonly, as a ring holder, its design clearly evokes the world of hunting and hunting iconography. The hallmark visible on the reverse, legible as "METOX," indicates a silver-plated metal piece (often made of zamak), probably of French or English origin, dating from the 1930s to 1950s. A fine balance between utility and decoration.
