This is a small vintage wood jewelry or trinket box made in Poland decorated with a carved/incised design on the top and 3 sides in the traditional Polish manner. It has a hinged lid. The box is in good pre-owned condition. The wood tone is stained a medium brown with the hand-painted stylized flower in red, yellow, ochre and green. There is a lighter tan strip of unstained wood on 3 sides of the lower part of the box. The finish is original and is somewhat worn as the box is from the 1960's and was used for a jewelry/trinket box all this time until now. The species of wood the box is made of is unknown, but the unfinished interior of the box shows it is a light colored wood, and probably a species that is easy to carve. Perhaps linden or poplar or some similar species available in Poland. The bottom of the box is stamped, "Made in Poland" and a series of numbers. Please see pictures. Measurements for the box are 6" x 4" x 1 3/4".
