A striking and highly sculptural Silver Cigar Ashtray by renowned Zimbabwean silversmith Patrick Mavros, celebrated for his exceptional wildlife-inspired designs. This impressive piece features a finely detailed elephant standing atop a decorative base adorned with an array of African fauna, including tortoises, crocodiles and hippos, all rendered with remarkable realism and texture.
The ashtray itself is formed as two interconnected bowls formed to look like two inverted tortoise shells and joined with an inverted hippo as a cigar rest. Designed to accommodate a cigar across the two bowls, the ashtray can accommodate any number of sizes of cigars.
This Silver Ashtray is created with a notably substantial weight, impressive quality and intricate hand-finished detailing - all characteristic of Patrick Mavros' distinctive style, where luxury silverwork meets the beauty of the African wilderness.
