Cigar Case, Folk Art Portrait, Leather

(Item: CASE, CALLING CARD)
This wonderful miniature oil portrait adorns the front of an early (1850s) calling card case. The back is also decorated.

The case is made from a hard material that I believe is leather. It has accordion edges that are dried out leather which will expand to form three storage areas. Only one end is open.

~5-5/8" in length and 2-3/4" wide, the image is ~2-3/4" by 3-1/4".
