Vintage 1960s Italian Skull Ashtray Cast Ebonite Made in Italy

This is a vintage 1960s ashtray made in the form of a skull sitting on a book. The piece is made of cast Ebonite, which is a type of hard resin, and then hand finished. The spine of the book is impressed with Made in Italy. It measures 4 in height and about 4 1/2 in width. It is in very good condition - some staining/marking to the underside and in the bowl of the ashtray, but this displays very well. Fabulous form and detail.
