The worker bees are doing their best to keep the honey flowing for the three gnomes in the forest. The bees have worried looks on their faces, they do hope they are getting the job done. The honey is painted with radiant gold, as are the stripes on the bees. Nicely done throughout. The drawing is framed with a gold line ornament and another decorates the sides. 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. A box that i certain will make you smile.
