17th century Wooden box and tobacco grater in the shape of a lion

Lion carved in wood, probably boxwood, eyes inlaid in bronze, the interior is hollowed out to contain the grated tobacco. The iron grater is missing. Very beautiful sculpture, interesting subject and superb patina. The power that emerges from the lion, its still medieval aspect makes us think of a sculpture prior to the 18th century. It is a very beautiful rare object that deserves to appear in the most beautiful collections.
Probably northern Europe 17th century.
98x77mm.
