A whimsical 1983 solid cast pewter mythical beast featuring a clever two-piece nesting design and an open-mouth silhouette. Modeled with scaly detailing, clawed feet, and a hollow interior cavity, this piece functions effortlessly as a unique match holder, toothpick caddy, or curious desk companion.
Cast from heavy, cool-to-the-touch solid pewter with a velvety matte grey finish, this timeless treasure carries the tactile, grounding presence of authentic 1980s fantasy metalware. Style it beside a vintage brass chamberstick, tuck it onto an open bookshelf vignette, or let it guard your desk accessories. Its sculpted snout opens to hold upright toothpicks or matches, while the removable upper body reveals an interior chamber.
