Summary
A metal hexagonal tin with a hinged lid. Inside a circle on the lid is a pale yellow embossed picture of a woman walking beside a cornfield. She carries a basket over her right arm and something else in her right hand. Her apron is tucked into her waistband. She wears a hat. On each of the six sides is a pale yellow embossed scene of people working in the cornfield or in the barn. Around each scene on the six sides, and that on the lid, is a cream on black border decorated with leaves and birds.
