Antique Soldered Tin Flat Back Flying Dove Cookie Cutter needlwork 7 1/2" x 5 1/2"

7 1/2" x 5 1/2" I think maybe tempera on wood panel

and one that would certainly make a great gift for a champion bowler--and maybe also for a fan of the Big Lebowski

it stands up straight on its own

The sides of the box feature a flower and vine design

with another collaged bit on reverse

Antique Soldered Tin Flat Back Flying Dove Cookie Cutter needlwork 7 1/2" x 5 1/2"Like a naive schoolgirl drawing rendered in tin, I really love the silhouette of the dove on this early folk art soldered cookie cutter, late 19th c Pennsylvania German I believe, with a true flat back making for easy hanging from a nail on the wall. To my eye, a pure, satisfying thing. 4" x 3 1 8" x 7 16" d and in very good condition with some minor rusting the surface, all to the good in my opinion.
