Offered is a hand-carved and lathed crab-shaped trinket or ring box made of Taverneau wood in Haiti in the mid to late 1960s.
This is typical folk art and a travel souvenir, yet it is particularly charming because it doesn't have the name of a country etched on it.
It can be used as a vide poche for stashing keys and loose change on a console, a pill box, or for storing rings, earrings, etc. on a dresser or nighstand, or even as a soap dish in a powder room.
It measures approximately 5.625" in width, 7" in length, and 1.5" in height.

Any flaws in the wood grain or craftsmanship are innate, and any wear or defect is commensurate with its age and past handling. less
