One of a kind decopaged Frida image tobacco box/purse w/handle. The purse box is bronzy-gold and embellished with the image of Frida with her iconic unibrow and posing with one of her monkeys. And abundance of flowers, both paper and jeweled adorns the top of the lid and back. Included is her message of: "este es mi lugar feliz" (this is my happy place). Frida loved her animals and she had quite a collection. A recycled tortoise and gold chain belt is reused as a purse handle. A heavy duty bronze metal closure and corner protectors allow for a more stable secure box as well as decoration. Inside is lined with a tan felt cloth. Box measures: 8"w x 7"h x 3"dp
