Made from a cigar box, this piece features the American Flag on the lid. Stars and the words "FOR ALL" wrap around the sides. The lid lifts open to reveal an interior that is painted and has a deep blue cotton velvet bottom liner. A vintage Dresden Gold Eagle on top of a pleated crepe paper disk has been placed on the interior lid.
"FOR ALL" is part of a Patriotic Trio of "Ballot Boxes". Together they symbolize the fundamental values we have learned since childhood. As we learned and recited the Pledge of Allegiance..."I pledge allegiance to the flag...with Liberty and Justice For All".
Approximately 60 hand-cut and carved pieces of wood were used in creating this one-of-a-kind work of art.
