Blue and white double-sphere money bank

0

The upper sphere painted beneath the pierced coin slot with an amorous couple standing beside a large rock and a small tree near a church on one side and on the other side a toper seated at a table before a lady walking and a man on horseback in the distance below a floral border encircling the finial and repeated around the top of the larger lower sphere also pierced with a coin slot above the initials IVK and a man reaching up with his right hand to toss a coin into the slot while riding a horse galloping toward a fashionable lady standing on a terrace before a distant church and pointing toward a man standing beside a further fashionable lady and waving two wands with pendent stars before a distant statue of Cupid on a pedestal, the floral border repeated between a ruyi-head border around the ankle and a floral lappet and foliate-scroll border around the circular foot.
