1982.4.5Description
This handkerchief box has a red silk exterior and is lined with white satin. On one side of the box, there are white grosgrain ribbons arranged in a crossing pattern, while on the other side, two pieces of ribbon run parallel to each other. It's worth noting that these ribbon arrangements are designed to be reversible, allowing you to flip them to the opposite side for a different look.
In terms of decoration, the outside front cover of the box is adorned with four leather circles, two of which overlap. These circles feature hand-painted depictions of children. Additionally, the phrase "Merry Xmas" is written on the cover. There are blue-painted flowers on the inside, and on the back, there are three small drawn flowers.Context
