I am not expert in the least

with sinew attaching the moveable arms and legs

I think their shapes are beautiful

and a series of design cards inside the box

Charming Old Miniature Cat Painting on Painted Paper Mache Plate it belonged to my mother I am not expert inOh, such a cat! This a just a miniature, but this cat has quite a big presence and personality and not an especially cheerful one I think! Painted in oils I believe quite a long time ago on what a small plate dish made of hard paper mache I believe, with red on the face and back and gold around the rim. Perfectly aged and completely charming; I'd be tempted to add a little hanger to the back and hang this one on the wall. 3 5 16" in diameter x 5 8"
