Long Description
My wife and I found this in a local secondhand store. We paid only $5 for this and feel we got away with a massive steal. It is solid wood and the dimensions are about 14 1/8" H, 14 1/8" L, and 9 1/8" W. With some of the light peelings visible on the top, it appears that the images were painted directly on and then lacquered over. If anyone has any information on this item, we would greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
