I wish I knew where this came from. It was my grandfather's and I saved it from a box my parent's were getting rid of when he died. It's a nightmare to dust, but I love the carved forced perspective of it. Reminds me of him every day.

A carved scene (possibly eastern European based on the details) of three men playing cards inside a small cabin. There is a large cross, fiddle and knickknacks hanging on the walls and a large cookstove in the corner. A pot simmers on the wood stove and a blue butter churn sits nearby. The men have very detailed faces with lots of character.
A large timber beam holds up the roof.
