The paper mache' box is painted with black paint, I have added some burnt orange poka dots. I have painted the inside too, then rubbed with antiquing wax. On top sits a flatty pumpkin with a real dried stem. I have tucked some grungy cheesecloth under the pumpkin. Pumpkin is securely attached. This would be a perfect place to hide your Halloween candy! Nice primitive piece to add to your Autumn Decor. The box measures 10 inches wide and 10 inches tall including the pumpkin. I have tucked some of my Autumn Potpourri. I will ship for free in the United States.
