Western Beauty, 19th C. Theorem Painted Apple large inuit sculpture The top of each side

The top of each side is attached by brass hinges near the handle

the stitching on the other seams is concealed

and a glaze sample plate is a very rare thing to find--this one 1950s

I believe the lid of this late 19th c

Time has taken a bit of a toll

Western Beauty, 19th C. Theorem Painted Apple large inuit sculpture The top of each sideI love a theorem watercolor, and I love and apple, and even better with a handwritten annotation identifying it as a Western Beauty! 19th c., bright and crisp, just as an apple should be, in a roughly period frame with hanging loop at top. Framed: 9 1 8" x 7 1 4". Sight: 7" x 5". Very good condition, with one light stain at upper right, in the shape of an apple slice!
