-The Child's Bank- still bank c. 19th century

This 19th-century "Child's Bank" is a small, square, tin box with a decorative, floral design in gold on a black background. The intricate pattern is reminiscent of the decorative arts, with a repeating design of stylized leaves and flowers. This charming and functional object, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the craftsmanship and attention to detail of early tinware.
