Tramp Art Box with Green Felt, American, 1910's

An elaborate tramp art box built from layered, hand-chip-carved wood in a repeating notched pattern, its stepped construction rising from base to lid. A soft green felt lines the interior, a detail commonly found in boxes made to hold jewelry or keepsakes. The scale and complexity of the carving make this a standout example of the folk art tradition.
