I chased a bunch of mid-c Italian pottery online to find one ashtray featuring essentially the same pattern as the lid on this box

especially ones with old leather covers on top like this one

and these old shoe-shaped snuff boxes are such wonderful

Beautifully Primitive Old Canadian Folk Art Wooden Animals sculptural wooden toy I chased a bunch ofI found these along with the antique Inuit miniature sled just listed, and while I don't believe they originally belonged together, I do believe, based on a note from the seller, that these are Canadian in origin too, of a similar age, and if not Inuit certainly they feel aligned in sensibility and essence, with a beautiful no fuss sort of elegance and gravitas to them. Lots of power and fortitude expressed in the forms of those blocky carved bodies!
