Tiny Antique Carved Wooden Boot primitive wooden animal it appears Ito be covered

it appears Ito be covered with a couple of layers of paint--I think first entirely painted red

There may also be a bit of warping to the box itself such that the top and bottom aren't exactly flush

with one small scrape in the edge of the lid at the center on the gold side and a little irregularity to the gold paint overall

and it appears

really evocative objects I think

Tiny Antique Carved Wooden Boot primitive wooden animal it appears Ito be coveredI love a little carved shoe or boot, and really love this tiny one, made to hold a handful of matches I think, though perhaps a little pin cushion. To my eye the form couldn't be better, especially the shape of the heel, and simple but perfect detailing for a front flap with vertical row of buttons and a seam across the toe. 1 15 16" t x 1 7 8" l x 11 16" w and in great condition. Stained painted black.
