Sewing Machine Drawer Folk Art Indian Doll Shadow Box Coin Bank Yarn Handmade

Treadle sewing cabinets once had drawers like this one, with pressed, embossed oak-look sides and bent corners. Here a drawer from an older sewing machine has been given a second life as a handmade folk-art wall box that now hangs from a sawtooth hanger on the back. Inside stands a hand-made Indian-style doll with a yarn-wrapped face, wool hair, a wrapped chenille-style body, feathers, fringe, a leather belt and a tiny corn cob.

Details

• Painted star trim and a small painted panel with a white porcelain knob add to the country, primitive look.
• A coin slot is cut into the top end.
• It would sit well on a farmhouse, cabin or den wall, or on a collector's folk-art shelf.
• Made of wood, yarn, fabric, feathers, leather and porcelain, and it weighs about 1 lb 14 oz.

Condition: The outer veneer layer is peeled and chipped at one drawer corner, and the sides and back have scratches and worn finish. The doll is intact, with the fibers a little ragged. See photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
