Intensively Stacked Sculptural Old Tramp Art Box with Hinged Lid and Velvet Lining hand-painted mid-century vase made for brushing the rimI'm always thrilled to find a super sculptural tramp art box, just of this sort, and this one with a fantastic pattern of 12 stacked squares on the hinged lid.

Beautiful all the way around with no notable losses, with the exception being the center front foot
