Portrait in Profile Drawing of Man in Top Hat turned handle 4 1/2" long x 13/16"

4 1/2" long x 13/16" widest x 1/2" deep

I'm completely in love with this curious little hand-embroidered character in a traditional costume that I'd guess is Eastern European

showing the irregularities in the bone more dramatically than they appear to the eye

I've done some digging and have found a few Ebenezer Averill's from these parts from the 18th and 19th centuries

making for a pretty charming way to protect a little box of matches

Portrait in Profile Drawing of Man in Top Hat turned handle 4 1/2" long x 13/16"I love this little drawing, perhaps because this man looks like such a happy and friendly sort; I can almost hear him chatting away! I believe it likely dates to the late 19th century or so, and would guess the frame is about that old as well. The hook at the top is not quite aligned with the drawing, but there is second hanger sewn onto the back of the frame from which it can be hung and turned straight or just prop it up somewhere! Great condition,
