A vintage tramp art whimsy cube built in the Crown of Thorns style, constructed from interlocking notched wood strips arranged in a puzzle-like configuration. Measuring 4.5 inches on each side, the cube shows the delicate, interwoven structure that defines this form, with each piece cut and notched by hand to create an intricate openwork lattice.
Objects like this were often made as demonstrations of skill, patience, and precision, since the Crown of Thorns construction requires no nails or glue and depends entirely on the accuracy of each interlocking notch. The result is a lightweight but visually complex cube that reads as both craft exercise and sculptural curiosity.
Very good condition with expected small irregularities from hand-cut construction.
Dimensions: 4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5 inches
