mostly ruled paper with a few drawings on laid pasted in

stamped on one of the early pages

I also really love its function--with a hole for a stick of incense inside

Painted Cigar Box with Wide Eyed Portrait baskets The tray is signed CPurchased from a dealer at Brimfield who always has great things, I really like how the portrait painted on the face of the cigar box looks as if preparing for their secrets to be revealed when one opens the box! And so perhaps just the right box in which to store one's diary, or stash of nude photos or pile of bills! Also stands on end to display just as a painting. 9" x 7 1 2" x 1 7 8". Good condition, with a fine, barely visible split in the wood
