SOLD Wolf Clenching Gold Ring, Old Carving Presumed Black Forest card trick but their very stern facesThe manner of this carving looks Black Forest to me, and the subject of it, too. This wolf clenches a gold ring in its mouth which I think maybe relates to Norse mythology. Though carved of wood, the form also evinces that of a stirrup cup, used on a hunt. I like it set tabletop just as pictured, emphasizing the prize like nature of the ring, but a string or wire could also be strung through a couple of the carved holes along the base to hang it flush
