Summary
A handmade doll's house size Christmas tree with candles and decorations. The base is made from a block of round shaped wood which is covered with white crape paper, with a pink satin bow tied around it. Below the bow is a round gold coloured paper label with the words 'G and W Heller Wien' embossed on it. The tree itself appears to be made from a branch of a much larger artificial (plastic) tree. It is green and is decorated with gold coloured tinsel, a small white (birthday) candle and crudely made hanging decorations. The decorations are made from gold and silver coloured foil which covers a light modelling material underneath. Three of these decorations have become separated from the tree as have two of the candles. Total number of items is 6.
