Unknown Maker
- Berchtesgaden, Germany ca. 1945-1949|
The carriage drawn by four horses is carved from several pieces of wood pieced together and decorated with paint: red, blue, gold, white, and green. The horses' manes are made from feathers. The inscription "Berchtesgaden" on the box lid suggests that it may have been made at a displaced persons camp, as Orlyk and Insula DP camps were located in Berchtesgaden.
