1973 Second Place D.C. Armory Dog Show Trophy Plaque by Merle kid cup The roof comes off and

The roof comes off and one could store some things inside

except for L

and the betel box was an important object

particularly around the shoulders and near the base further animate the surface

exquisitely crafted object that I find unbelievably beautiful and powerful

1973 Second Place D.C. Armory Dog Show Trophy Plaque by Merle kid cup The roof comes off andJust a fun one. I am not great with dog species, but I think this is a Rottweiler, and I would guess a portrait of the specific Rottweiler who took second place in the 1973 National Capital "Open Dog" Competition. It appears to be hand painted porcelain, glued I believe to the wooden plaque, and I think would make a pretty nice addition to a wall of dog portraits (or second place prizes!) 7 1 8" x 5" x 7 8" and in great vintage condition.
