Reference: Z6231
Convoy of silver vinegar cruets, Santander, 19th century. With hallmarks, local and silversmith's marks (Santander, Trabanco, M.Navarro). Holding a basket with a handle on his head is the figure of an Indigenous man, wearing a skirt and a feathered headdress. The figure stands atop a column, flanked by two circular spaces for oil and vinegar cruets and two other supports for salt and pepper shakers. The decoration, featuring columns and classical palmettes, is characteristic of Neoclassicism, while the presence of the feathered Indigenous man adds a touch of exoticism highly valued in the 19th century.
