A man stands in front of an elevated napkin ring (on grapes and leaves) with his hand in the air. I canot find any information about this ring so it must be very rare. I have a feeling it is related somehoe to American independence, and it is possible that the man may have held something in his hand (possibly a flag, I am guessing). Alternatively the hand may be open so that it holds a toothpick. An amazing piece.
