Signed Pops Casey Tramp Art Box — Vibrant Red Folk Art

A striking work of functional sculpture by Chicago folk and outsider artist Casey Lewandowski, known as Pops Casey, this signed box brings together vibrant color, intricate handwork, and bold architectural form.

Its elaborate lid rises into four stepped peaks, built from layers of carefully notched wood. Repeating chip-carved details create a wonderful play of light and shadow, while a carved diamond pattern extends around the sides. The vivid red finish gives this piece remarkable presence. A hinged lid opens to reveal a warm wood interior with space for treasured keepsakes.
