Wooden Miniature Matchbox Diorama, Cheesemonger

An incredibly detailed scene of a Cheesemonger in a matchbox, this small delightful object is made entirely by hand. In the tradition of the Erzgebirge region in East Germany, wooden items relate to old European folklore themes and should be considered as such - halfway between outsider art and indigenous heritage. Buying an item such as this contributes to the continuation of such traditions.
