Sweet Antique Whimsy Cup with Cutout Shields and Diamonds American Indian woman The person who sold it

The person who sold it to me thought depression era

and "Parking in Rear" on the right corner

with a couple of tiny holes in the horn along the perimeter of the wheel

but with aura

it would make a great tea caddy as well

Sweet Antique Whimsy Cup with Cutout Shields and Diamonds American Indian woman The person who sold itA very sweet little old cup or goblet, carved of one piece of wood a whimsy of sorts, and of course with those diamond and shield shaped cutouts all around, not one one could drink out of! Nice form, including the tiered pedestal base. With a nice warm dry wood patina, late 19th c. or so, I would guess. 3 3 8" t x 1 5 8" in diameter and in excellent condition.
