Barrel still bank c. 20th century

This charming, hand-painted wooden barrel still bank, dating back to the 20th century, is a delightful example of folk art. The artist, whose identity is unknown, has decorated the barrel with a simple but elegant design, featuring yellow, red, white, and green hues. The red bands encircling the barrel evoke the wooden staves of a traditional barrel, while the floral motif adds a touch of whimsy. This small, yet charming, bank would have served as a playful and practical way for children to save their coins.
