Grand prize winner at the 1930 Antwerp World's Fair, designed by Belgian jeweler and designer Raymond Ruys. Hand-hammered silver in an Art Deco style, influenced by African art popular at the time. Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City. This was inside a glass case, so it was difficult to get a good shot of it, but I managed to at least get a decent one.
