Small figural brass balancing ashtray with a painted metal figurine on top and two counterweighted rods that rock when touched. The piece stands on three tapered legs above a removable bowl/ashtray decorated with incised leaf motifs; surface shows age, patina, and wear to the painted areas. Charming novelty desktop or mid-century decorative ashtray with light denting and oxidation consistent with age — bowl is intact and removable for cleaning. Measures small and lightweight, suitable for display on a shelf or desk.
