Curious c. 1800 French Watercolor, Le Diable Couleur de Rose Opera, Valogne tiger in wild when I found this one

making it easy to rotate to remove whatever coins one might drop inside

or embracing the void and hanging it just as is

There are three old screw holes down the center

I love the way her hair wraps around all three sides of the sculpture
