Jug still bank c. early 20th century

This anonymous, early 20th century, wooden jug-shaped still bank, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a charming example of folk art. The simple, yet effective design of the bank, with its distinctive red stain and a single slot for coins, reflects the practicality and artistry of the time. It likely served as both a functional savings tool and a decorative piece in a home. The bank's small size, measuring just 4 x 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inches, further highlights its intimate and personal nature.
