Description
Painted on metal, this piece is a single, double-sided panel with no hinge mechanism. Both faces are decorated, while the form remains one continuous, unified sheet rather than a folding structure. The surface shows hand-applied paint with visible variation in line, color, and wear consistent with use and age. The construction is simple and flat, with imagery contained within the boundaries of the metal panel.

Condition
Damage/Repair: Some imperfections to the metal are present, consistent with age and handling. There is an area suggesting where a hinge mechanism may once have been or was intended, though this example appears to be a single, continuous piece. See photos for details.
Overall Condition: Good. Some of our beads and art have traveled at least three continents, and have graced numerous owners. Small chips, corrosion, and pitting are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use.
