Old Carved Folk Art Still Bank with Crown of Thorns Corners birds eye maple and a black stripe down

and a black stripe down the back--perfectly complemented by the silver-gray of the angular tin fins

This piece--a fragment or all there ever was I'm not sure--consists of hundreds of small fabric squares (most of them silk it appears to me) sewn together

I believe the stone is rose quartz

the two splits on the lid of the box were very well repaired with glue at some point

and a small loss to the bottom right corner

Old Carved Folk Art Still Bank with Crown of Thorns Corners birds eye maple and a black stripe downWith its crown of thorns type construction, this folk art still bank seems a good one for collecting tithes or perhaps saving up to purchase something sinful! Very lovingly carved and constructed, of cigar box wood wood I believe, with especially nice incising on the slide opening, with four stars surrounding the coin slit and zig zag edges on either end. Lovely, Approx. 4 1 2" x 4 1 2" x 4 1 2". Very good condition, with a small loss to one point,
