A gentleman monkey hunter, sleeves rolled up and rifle at the ready, approaches a tree with his attentive hunting hound, while a rabbit in the base of the tree goes on high alert. Beautiful workmanship on this great conversation piece. Mark on bottom reads: "Jas. W. Tufts / Boston Mass. / 3400" (pattern number). James W. Tufts worked in Boston between 1877 and 1904, so this piece can be dated within those parameters.
