Comment: |
During the big tourist influx in the 1960-70 all kinds of household objects were produced from wood and sometimes extensively decorated. Ashtrays were popular but also cigar- and cigarette boxes and lamp-standards. The tourist industry was making big money then. This beautiful ashtray was made in Mas by a member of the Taman-family who had a reputation of excellent woodcarvers. |
