It has a thumb ring on the underside, and opens to reveal an inner flap which folds out to form a mixing palette, along with compartments for sixteen watercolor cakes. Some of these are still present, in various conditions of use. It is stamped with the manufacturer's name on the underside, and the thumb ring has at some time been repaired with a metal solder. - Subject Terms:
