Nicely Carved Antique Miniature Boot in Original Gold Paint that's what happened Cards are 2 1/2" xA lovely antique carved boot, detailed with significant love and care, and clad in its original gold paint, much mellowed now.

Very good condition, no losses or repairs, aging and general wear to the paint, all to the good.
