Charming English late 19th c. novelty donkey with panniers sewing tool holder. A unique piece with very detailed face, neck, and ears. Fine twisted wire lead thru mouth and around neck.

This is a gilded two-piece cast metal donkey with attached panniers. Although the figure is hollow, the castings are thick and make this a substantial piece. Panniers hold three remaining micro crochet hooks. Each one has a screw neck, so there must have been an interchangeable handle at some point. It is mounted on a marble base.
