French faience rebus plates a few weeks ago
I believe allowing for tightening once filled
and drilling holes in the lid the most perfectly direct way of making the board
enhancing a sense of fame and fortune ahead

Antique Kindergarten Paper Weaving in Greens landscape painting with man French faience rebus plates aA lovely example of a late 19th early 20th c. kindergarten woven paper "beauty form" using Froebel's 14th Gift weaving papers. Celadon green paper woven into darker green, and mounted to tan. For Froebel, paper weaving was a means of teaching "counting, progression, method, composition, planning and creativity" [Norman Brosterman, Inventing Kindergarten] as well as, perhaps most importantly, color. 5 1 16" x 4 3 8", very good condition.
