4 1/2" tall x 1 1/2" wide

Winsome Antique Cabinet Card with Hand-tinted Flowers painted wooden figures This carefully carved and paintedSuch a winsome feeling one; whether wedding flowers or mourning flowers I do not know, but I sure love the slightly frayed ribbon that holds them together, with their thorny cut stems splayed below it.
