With its crown of thorns type construction, this folk art still bank seems a good one for collecting tithes--or perhaps saving up to purchase something sinful! Very lovingly carved and constructed, of cigar box wood wood I believe, with especially nice incising on the slide opening, with four stars surrounding the coin slit and zig zag edges on either end. Lovely,
Approx. 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". Very good condition, with a small loss to one point, detailed in last photo. Warm dry patina, earlyish 20th c. I believe.
