(estimated to be 1950s) handpainted lady

paper mache over wood
Italian made

I've read it was originally for sewing. A pin cushion would go inside the spot on her head, and the cup would be to hold scissors or buttons

would be a lovely addition to a desk and used to hold paper clips or pens as well!

measures approximately 7" tall

in good condition
