Highlander figures are most often associated with snuff stores. With his outstretched hand, this figure is likely holding out a pinch of snuff. For a similar example of a Highlander figure attributed to the shop of Samuel Robb see An American Sampler: Folk Art from the Shelburne Museum (Washington DC, 1987), p. 105.
