Curious Old Carved and Painted Folk Art Wall Box with Birds and Hands - or Cacti! lantern toys and figures in thisThis one I found in Pennsylvania and find super curious. The painting on the front has a Southwestern flavor, and then on both sides are what look striped sleeved arms ending in hands with pink painted fingernails.. but which one also could perhaps instead take for flowering cacti!
