This is a lovely hand made and hand painted folk art box. It is not signed, and it's probably from the 1960s, give or take a decade. The horse and rider appear to be reverse painted on glass, and the horse is depicted in a style reminiscent of the 18th and early 19th century European horse portraits, where horses were shown quite thin, sometimes almost gaunt, with more linear composition and clipped tails. This is skillfully done. The box is a simple and well constructed wood order box, with slightly raised corner feet with subtle and graceful curves. The box is not decorated on the sides. The inside is clean and crisp, and the box overall is in very good condition, with no stains, no cracks, no repairs, no problems. The lid fits snugly and securely on the base. The box measures 6" x 4 1/2" x 1 7/8". The inside dimensions measure 5 3/8" x 3 3/4" x 1 3/8".
