sculptural thing when I found it

or perhaps a needlepoint at some point

with this gorgeous treen (turned wood) eye piece

with toning to the lined paper evident around the edges

dating it between 1920s-40s

Heartfelt Handmade Walnut (?) Box with Relief Carved Heart and Fat Dovetail Joints yellow and black painted sculptural thing when I foundA lovely, honest and earnest heartfelt, one might say! old handmade box with hinged lid, juicy fat dovetail joints, and a relief carved heart at center. Hardwood, I believe the wood is walnut, but I'm terrible identifying woods. Not a fussy thing about it, but one has the sense it was very much a labor of love, and I'll always say yes to a box with a hand carved heart! 9 5 8" x 5 3 8" x 4 1 8" t. Key long gone, so it does not lock. Very good
