This Snuff Box, created by Ann Gene Buckley around 1937, is a small but intricate example of folk art. The circular top features a painted butterfly with detailed wings and a contrasting red body, set against a background of green leaves and flowers. The bottom features a stylized floral design in shades of brown, red, yellow and blue, creating a vibrant and balanced aesthetic. The compact size and decorative motifs of this snuff box highlight its functionality and artistic charm, making it a delightful piece of Americana.
