Description
A very small wooden cup that is broader at the base than at the rim; it may be a pencil holder though its intended function is unclear. Emblazoned on its side are "Old Town, Maine" and a color printed face in profile that depicts a stereotypical Native American man (i.e. wearing a feathered headband, with his hair in two braids). This object was likely made in the 1960s though could be of more recent manufacture.
