A tinned sheet iron tobacco box, japanned on sides and bottom with enameled painting of a "Farmer's daughter" wearing a straw hat, off the shoulder blouse, carrying a sheaf of wheat and a hand scythe, looking alluringly over her shoulder. Inside the box is a panel with an enamel painting of a couple frolicking, with the male being distracted by a cat attempting to protect the woman by sinking its claws into his exposed backside. "25 d" is written on the other side of the panel. The interior is coated with a copper colored paint. There are two areas showing paint loss on the interior panel, though neither is located near the "action." The painting on the exterior shows wear around the outer edges but is otherwise very good. There is some rust on the exterior and a ¼-inch split on the lip of the lid.
