DescriptionBase and lid fit together to form the upper half of a woman’s body sitting on a roundish base. The base is decorated with black and white zig zag stripes, that extend up the lid and form the woman’s bodice. Her body and head is green, and her right arm is bent over her bodice with her hand on her left shoulder. The dress portrayed in this piece was inspired by fashion styles of the 1980s. This may have been intended to be a candy jar.
