and there is one tiny bit of something adhered to the surface of the lid

This crazy face

The backsides show stains to the paper in the corners but no tears and the fronts are in excellent condition

Reddish Stained Carved Folk Art Cat sloping lid It measures 2 1/8ʺin diameterI really love the face on this cat, from strong brow to proud nose to deeply carved long whiskers adding up to a sense that this cat is rather staring one down and clearly has the upper hand! I don't know its origins and while it has some age I am not sure especially old, but it has a lot of character, presence and very cat like attitude! Substantial at 5 1 2" tall x 5 1 8" l x 2 1 4" w. Very good condition, with a reddish stain.
