Such a beautiful and authentic mid-century Turkish solid brass personal shoe ashtray. Crafted in the shape of a traditional Middle Eastern slipper (sabah), this piece features elaborate hand-chased floral engravings all along the sides and toe, surrounding a classic crescent moon emblem.
Authenticity Note:Unlike many mass-produced versions stamped "India," the interior well of this authentic piece features a beautifully handwritten cursive etching that reads "Ankara", signifying its historic region of origin in Turkey.
Versatile Display Options:While originally designed as a pocket or personal ashtray (featuring a cigarette rest notch on the heel lip), it makes a perfect bohemian accent piece. Use it as a vanity ring dish, an entryway key catchall, or a unique conversation piece for an eclectic shelf display.
