if you prefer unframed

maybe exactly because they seem sort of like hard-trying underdogs striving to be majestic

Felix the Cat Hand-painted Little Folk Art Tin Wall Box embossed if you prefer unframedI'd guess this small tin wall box was meant to hold matches, which it could still, or one could, say, plant a sprig of creeping ivy in it, to ultimately give this Felix a head of hair! I might guess mid 20th c or so, with nice thick black and white paint for the face and red for the box. 4" tall x 3 1 2" wide x 1 3 4" deep and in good shape, with a little wear to the paint and a few small stains.
