Just a delightful carved whimsy of sorts, which I love in the same way I love an antique boot shaped snuff box, especially for those tiny brass tacks nailed in one by one, running around the toe and then up the front as eyelets with hand-drawn laces in between. Charming.
3" l x 2 1/2" t x 3/4" d and in very good condition, with a little dryness to the wood, which I have not touched.
