Woman with Flowered Hat Hand-painted Spanish Postcard, 1913 dark splint with orange and gold painted

with orange and gold painted decoration at center and corners

scarlet red vase features classic patterns of curling vines

as I was able to use a needle to pull away a few

The box is in good antique condition: there is some wear and aging to the wood
