Description

A boat shaped grease dish with roughly carved animal heads at either ends. The dish is very dark and impregnated with grease. Unusually it has been carved across the grain, therefore the grease has migrated along the grain of the wood and appears on the sides of the dish rather than more usually at the ends.; Good.
