Handmade Ink and Watercolor French Courtiers and Flower Sellers Paper Dolls dish set I'd certainly love to see

I'd certainly love to see it inspire a whole new creation

keeping one's pennies and quarters super secure

15 7/8” w x 11 1/8” t x 1 1/16” and in very good condition

It certainly seems it was created to serve a toggle-like function

there seems to be perhaps a bit of residue from a sticker in the top right corner

Handmade Ink and Watercolor French Courtiers and Flower Sellers Paper Dolls dish set I'd certainly love to seeI take these hand drawn and watercolored paper dolls as representing French courtiers and flower sellers from the era of Louis XIV or so, though I am not entirely sure when they were made and whether a specific purpose; the level of execution is rather above and beyond that of paper dolls made by or for a child to play with! Perhaps they were background characters in an elaborate puppet show? Or made as part of a maquette for an opera set design? In
