Description

This diorama was created roughly 50 years ago, and seems to be constructed out of wood, clay, plaster, cardboard, and papier mâché. It depicts a dozen or so mini models of structures and houses. The model is placed on a wooden base. A few of the people in the display have come loose and fallen, while some the plastic plant life has also come lose and fallen out. The rest of the diorama has various cracks and chips, but it is in sturdy condition.
