Pa. German Hat Box c. 1938

This Pennsylvania German Hat Box, created by Eugene C. Miller in 1938, is a fine example of folk art. The piece depicts two figures dressed in traditional attire standing in front of a stylized landscape. The box is decorated with bold colors, whimsical flowers, and a German inscription, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch region. The box's simple oval shape and hand-painted details make it a charming and unique piece of American folk art.
