 Chinese Pewter Tobacco Box in  Shape of a Lotus Shoe
A very rare Tobacco Box made of pewter, engraved with floral sprays, insects and a fish. The shoe is hallmarked on the underside. As this box is in the shape of a lotus shoe for bound feet, it can be considered as a piece of erotic art. China, 19th century.
