Bandbox 1935 - 1942

The "Bandbox" is an anonymous work of art, a hand-painted bandbox in the form of a cylinder. Dated to 1935 - 1942, the bandbox is painted in a whimsical style, reminiscent of folk art, featuring a colorful and detailed cityscape motif of houses and trees against a light blue background. The lid is decorated with a scene of a garden with roses. The bandbox serves as a reminder of the practice of decorating and personalizing functional objects in the past.
