The Gaori Homestead, Sweet Old Painted Cigarette Tin with Note Inside Swedish wooden plate but the binding is inA sweet little thing, which I love for the naive farmhouse painting on its face, and also for the note inside which dismisses the value of the painting but proclaims its folkloric value! Painted by a Willie Gaori of the "Gaori homestead," c. 1940s or so I believe. 5 7 8" x 4 1 4" x 3 4" and in good condition.
