# 244 Brass dog mounted on wood used as a talisman for good luck.
(The above is the description as printed in the catalog.)

The hound appears to be gilt on silver, not brass. Some of the gold is worn off. The wood is teak. I think this is a button, but might have just been an ornamental item for clothing. It measures 1 3/8 inch.
