Beautiful 19th C. Folk Art Painted Miniature Dome Top Chest movable legs making the whole thing feel

making the whole thing feel like a snake curled into an oval to me

all the more for trials he's surely been through

and with a great pencil drawing of a massive arrow attack on the back of the hygiene book

who carved this one in the 1920s or so

Beautiful 19th C. Folk Art Painted Miniature Dome Top Chest movable legs making the whole thing feelSo lovely and special feeling, I believe this miniature folk art painted dome top chest is Northern European, and I'd guess German, as to me the painted houses on it remind me very much of early German Erzgebirge ones. (A similar one, sold at Skinner for $300+, was attributed as Northern European.) Wonderfully painted on every side, with the topiary esque green trees against white with blue sky above and yellow ground below especially doing it for me.
