Antique Tole Painted Foo Dog Box for "Future Prosperity" astronomical drawings very often haunted by aHow could I resist the hand painted golden foo dog on the lid of this old tin box, promising future prosperity? Perhaps used as a snuff box, perhaps for something else, now useful for all sorts of little things.
