A small ivory tankard, probably German, circa 1900 Ivory, gold-plated silver. Conical body with a flared rim made of carved ivory. Intricately carved scene: in the center, a putto with an anvil and hammer as an allegory of labor; next to him, a putto atop a wild animal, symbolizing the mastery of nature; and a female figure on horseback, armed with a shield and arrows. This is likely Minerva, the personification of virtue and order. Domed, oval base and lid. Sculpted knob in the form of a boy sitting on a wine barrel, holding a wine glass. Handle featuring a sculpted woman’s head and a rolled-in thumb rest. Set with a total of 14 cabochons. Unmarked. Silver tested; stones not tested. Good condition. Lid does not close completely. Dimensions: 12.5 x 10.5 x 6 cm. Total weight: 149.76 g. Current CITES documents dated April 30, 2026, with trade authorization, are available.
