A beautiful and detailed example of a heavy, old-brass small bowl (e.g., for trinkets) shaped like a devil's head and playing cards; also note the three coins. These are replicas of 'sixpence' coins from the era of King George VI (issued between 1936 and 1948).
The piece features various playing cards of all colors, except diamonds. Diamonds symbolize wealth and luxury; perhaps there is a lesson here? The bowl rests on three short, sturdy legs.
See the photos.
Dimensions (approximately): 5.7" L x 5.5" W x 1" H.

Een fraai en gedetailleerd voorbeeld van een zwaar, oud messing schaaltje (bijv. voor snuisterijen) in de vorm van een duivelskop en speelkaarten; let ook op de drie munten. Dit zijn replica's van 'sixpenny'-munten uit de tijd van koning George VI (uitgegeven tussen 1936 en 1948).
Het stuk toont diverse speelkaarten van alle kleuren, behalve ruiten. Ruiten staan ​​symbool voor rijkdom en luxe; wellicht schuilt hier een les in? Het schaaltje rust op drie korte, stevige pootjes.
Zie de foto's.
Afmetingen (bij benadering): 5,7" L x 5,5" B x 1" H.
