Summary
A model tree made from wood and lichen. The trunk is a short length of twig, with the brown lichen (which is very dry and has begun to crumble away) wrapped round as the leaves. The thin, square, wooden base is nailed in to the trunk from the underside, and has sawdust coloured slightly green stuck to it. It might possibly have been made as an accesssory to a model railway set.
