A little girl stands in the wintry weather with snowflakes blowing past. She has a chain around her neck, decorated with sun and planet-like orbs and two birds. Unlike the photo might suggest, all those objects and the chain are done in gold and give off a nice radiance. A brown pail is at her feet and seems well on the way to falling over. The girl and scene is cute, but the box is so well done that you admire it more for its artwork. The bottom of the box is a mix of black and grey colors, the interior is red. The box is made out of high quality papier mache and has a hinge at the left. Signed with the name of the artist, village and year.
