Antique Handmade Red and Gold Paper Cut Schoolgirl Valentine colorful figures I really love how old

I really love how old and dark and briny it feels

The drawing sold as found

which is definitely the case with the broken and re-glued piece of thumb on the carved hand on the top of this trinket box

muscled arms and huge hands with individuated fingers--altogether a pure embodiment of endurance and fortitude

and it is unmarked

Antique Handmade Red and Gold Paper Cut Schoolgirl Valentine colorful figures I really love how oldYesterday I came across a bunch of old handmade valentines, including this one, filling me with total joy. And this stunner, unsigned inside, is ready to give again! To my eye, it couldn't be better, including for the wonderfully anxious looking face on our woman of many hearts, carefully constructed of construction paper! 6" t x 4 1 2" w closed and in very good condition.
