Winsome Antique Cabinet Card with Hand-tinted Flowers tribal wood carved comb I love that they are

I love that they are hierarchically labeled

with blackening in some areas as a result of the firing process

of course maps should be anthropomorphized

I believe it was likely a piece by Homer Gunn (1919-2001)

Winsome Antique Cabinet Card with Hand-tinted Flowers tribal wood carved comb I love that they areSuch a winsome feeling one; whether wedding flowers or mourning flowers I do not know, but I sure love the slightly frayed ribbon that holds them together, with their thorny cut stems splayed below it.

Formally and associatively quite a delicate feeling thing. 6 1 2" x 4 1 4" and in good condition,
