Nicely Carved Antique Miniature Boot in Original Gold Paint jewelry box with pink lining ) looks very much likeA lovely antique carved boot, detailed with significant love and care, and clad in its original gold paint, much mellowed now. No functional purpose, just a carver's whimsy, my favorite kind. Late 19th century I believe, perfectly aged. 3 1 16" l x 1 1 16" w x 2 1 4" t. Very good condition, no losses or repairs, aging and general wear to the paint, all to the good.
