Italian Tole Handpainted Wood Box - Large with Lots of Florals antique french ribbon work But this happy fellow was

But this happy fellow was Made in Occupied Japan and because of the difference in colors

the bottom folds down to reveal a small red honeycomb as well as a pair of roses with additional flowers

There also was no hat on the head BUT I did manage to find a small French gilt metal crown with rhinestones and placed that on the head

The ribbon wreath is quite secure and is in no danger of falling apart
