A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: Here is another one of my tiny treasures. How I wish I could remember where, how, and why did I decide to bring it home. It has become almost an obsession to rescue them all from the least meaningful and, at times, not the cleanest basket in thrift shops. I needed to honor the hands that created beauty.

Condition

Good; some light discoloration
