Very Lovely 1866 Naive Watercolor Flowers with Decorated Border on Laid animal blocks Or maybe as a stage

Or maybe as a stage prop

The look like fortune seekers out west during the gold rush era to me

Good just propped in a window

The blonde spoon has a bit of a larger chip in the wood along the edge and shows a bit more wear to the wood

Very Lovely 1866 Naive Watercolor Flowers with Decorated Border on Laid animal blocks Or maybe as a stageJust my sort of watercolor, very naive, very charming, and to my eye just transcendently lovely. With what appear to be three different sorts of blooms emanating from the roundish pink form near center the one at top right seeming to me a bit like a bird or a bee seeking nectar! And with two perimeters of hatch marks creating a frame around it, in a manner similar to early handmade rewards of merit, which perhaps it was made to be. On reverse: Sue
