| Description | Lacquered papier mache figurine in the form of a small 4-sided portable carriage, with a black base, a yellow structure, black roof with orange cornice tiles, all surmounted by a gold flower-like device on a wooden stick; Each side of the carriage is decorated with 6 small orange dots, possibly representing a decorative pattern on sheer window coverings or curtains; On two sides of the base are two small holes that extend through to the opposite side, probably for inserting beams so the carriage and its owner could be hand-carried by servants. | |
