-Moon and Stars- still bank c. early 20th century

"-Moon and Stars-" is a cast iron still bank in the shape of a miniature safe, created by an anonymous artist in the early 20th century. It is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection. The bank features a combination lock, a slot for inserting coins, and decorative elements including a star and stylized leaves. This playful piece was likely intended for children as a way to teach them about saving money. The miniature size and the design elements like the combination lock contribute to the charming and nostalgic appeal of the piece.
