Lot 204: A Collection of Ishatvam White Metal and Wood African Safari Animal Napkin Rings

A collection of African safari wildlife-themed napkin rings, each comprising a polished dark wood circular base mounted with a detailed white metal figurine. The set includes depictions of a rhinoceros, a warthog, a giraffe, a leopard, a hippopotamus, and a lion. The metal components are finished in an antique silver style; the rhinoceros and warthog are represented by detailed head studies, while the leopard, giraffe, and lion are shown in full-body poses. The leopard figure is designed with its tail wrapping around the circumference of the wooden ring. The collection is housed in a rectangular presentation box with a beige crocodile-textured exterior and a black fabric-lined interior. An adhesive gold-toned rectangular plaque is fixed to the inner lid, featuring the name ISHATVAM in black lettering.
