Old Carved Folk Art Still Bank with Crown of Thorns Corners fat pencils and I assume it is

and I assume it is the path to enlightenment/progression to nirvana being symbolically represented (with the six tethered forms representing the six perfections

1930s or so I'd think

I've long been admiring both the forms and the glorious color on early croquet posts

Old Carved Folk Art Still Bank with Crown of Thorns Corners fat pencils and I assume it isWith its crown of thorns type construction, this folk art still bank seems a good one for collecting tithes or perhaps saving up to purchase something sinful! Very lovingly carved and constructed, of cigar box wood wood I believe, with especially nice incising on the slide opening, with four stars surrounding the coin slit and zig zag edges on either end. Lovely, Approx. 4 1 2" x 4 1 2" x 4 1 2". Very good condition, with a small loss to one point,
