Lovely Antique Treen (Presumed Card) Box with Heart Cutout girl reading but I'm not completely sure

but I'm not completely sure

which honestly makes me love it more--a strange hybrid thing

At first I believed this amazing vintage doll was a voodoo doll

The piece consists of a front and back cover tied together with a piece of rope

No kids around

Lovely Antique Treen (Presumed Card) Box with Heart Cutout girl reading but I'm not completely sureI believe this lovely antique hardwood box was made to hold a deck of cards as it does so beautifully, fitting exactly one deck of standard dimension cards snugly inside, with the heart shaped window providing a peep. And, shaped like a little book, it could be stealthily slipped in among the the stacks in the library or parlor, then pulled out when in need of diversion! 4 1 8" x 3 1 8" x 15 16". Fits standard cards: 2 5 16" x 3 9 16". Very good
