Old Carved Folk Art Still Bank with Crown of Thorns Corners birds eye maple a member of the Sioux

a member of the Sioux tribe who worked at Sioux Pottery in Rapid City

which didn't keep his right leg holding on very well

I believe the stone is rose quartz

This piece--a fragment or all there ever was I'm not sure--consists of hundreds of small fabric squares (most of them silk it appears to me) sewn together

but whether or not the figure here references him I am not sure

Old Carved Folk Art Still Bank with Crown of Thorns Corners birds eye maple a member of the SiouxWith its crown of thorns type construction, this folk art still bank seems a good one for collecting tithes or perhaps saving up to purchase something sinful! Very lovingly carved and constructed, of cigar box wood wood I believe, with especially nice incising on the slide opening, with four stars surrounding the coin slit and zig zag edges on either end. Lovely, Approx. 4 1 2" x 4 1 2" x 4 1 2". Very good condition, with a small loss to one point,
