Curious Old Carved and Painted Folk Art Wall Box with Birds and Hands - or Cacti! Odd Fellows all fairly minor

all fairly minor

and what great hats and dresses

I’m not sure I’d try putting this back into use for ice fishing

Curious Old Carved and Painted Folk Art Wall Box with Birds and Hands - or Cacti! Odd Fellows all fairly minorThis one I found in Pennsylvania and find super curious. The painting on the front has a Southwestern flavor, and then on both sides are what look striped sleeved arms ending in hands with pink painted fingernails.. but which one also could perhaps instead take for flowering cacti! And then on the back, two stylized bird with pin pricked outlines that feel very Pennsylvania, making this feel like quite a hybrid thing. 1940s I would think, though
