Painted clay behind glass inside of a painted wooden box. 216x330x254 mm; 8½x13x10 inches. Commissioned by the Museum Extension Project, WPA. Circa 1936-40.

Operating in 23 states, the Museum Extension Project of the WPA provided educational visual aids to schools, libraries, local museums, and other similar institutions.

Many of the artists and craftspeople working for the MEP went unattributed.
