salt is 4 1/4" tall

These were really fun to find together this week in Maine

as it feels so  intimate and immediate to hold in ones hands

Another terrific set of domino playing cards

19th C. Watercolor of Eagle with Arrows and Flower vintage textile design salt is 4 1/4" tallI'm finding myself drawn to American eagles in all sorts of incarnations of late with a certain sense of urgency at least in good part for fear of their extinction! I find this naive eagle watercolor in shades of peach especially winning, with arrows tipped in what look like hearts held in one talon, and what looks like a tulip on stem in the other. 19th century, probably Pennsylvania. Framed, as found, mounted to a black mat: 10 3 4 x 8 5 8 ; 5 x 4 1
