The woman wearing pantaloons and holding a painted crest/armorial with real Chamois (antelope) horn legs. Well detailed including under the pantaloons. Circa 1875.
Possibly carved to shock and provoke conversation, from an old gentleman’s smoke room or private club. Or maybe it was a rich family’s private joke, where it was intended to hang on the wall all innocently, any one peaking was surely not going to admit they had been caught out!
One thing for sure, it is certainly a unique talking point.
