MA that had some pretty fantastic jewelry

I just picked up six of these brilliantly colorful pattern paintings on lightweight board and think they are just gorgeous

The little arms resting on the edge of the tub and outstretched legs make this little lion appear to be wonderfully relaxed

but it would also be great as a caddy for art supplies

Antique Round Braided Silk Tabletop Mat - One of Two early Zanesville vase MA that had some prettyI've become such a fan of these old braided mats, and look at a lot of them before landing on ones I really like. This and one other I am listing I found together and assume were made by the same person, who I think had a very good eye for color and pattern. Good on the table under the coffee pot or tea pot or dishes or candlesticks or whatever. 14 1 8" in diameter and in good antique condition on both side, definitely used and a bit faded, but lovely.
