What a sweet little fella, Rob!

Are there letters in the 3rd picture on donkey's side? It looks like O G followed by a swiggle S shape...?
I'd say probably not an ashtray, more like a small dish the sort of thing that might have held peanuts or even as a small wotnot holder (small change, keys etc.)
BTW what's this I hear on the grapevine about something good being found near me? Private email me about it if you prefer it not public atm.
