Historic etching and commentary

Is that a Kuvasz bringing up the rear of the funeral procession? Gyöngyi in Hungary shares this photo and commentary.


Attached you find the hand-drawing picture of a razor-case. Made of wood by the shape of a coffin. As any cut symbolically speaking summons a loss, cutting anything reminds a one to loss in life, even to death which is the major loss. The “resting place” of the means of cut got a shape that emphasizes the abstract relevance between “cut types” in life. So in most of all cases we realize in their décor the reference to this image. This razor case in question got the a in-carved story of funeral where the cut itself just like the dead is celebrated, mourned and accompanied by dogs in prestigious function.
