Description from the seller

Antique ashtray from the colonial period.
In bronze or brass. Art Nouveau style. Early 20th century, around 1910, a figurine of an African man seated with his arms outstretched, forming the receptacle. The word "CONGO" is engraved on the chest.
This ashtray promotes the British colonization of the Congo on the African continent, and thus the words 'CONGO' are engraved on the native's chest.
