Quiz...........The Answer

This small wooden carved Treen lady with a head and pair of boots which can be removed is known as an Artist's Companion. The age of the carving indicates that she may have belonged to a lady who lived during the end of the Georgian era leading into the Victorian era. 
The head reveals a small blade that could have been used for etching, engraving, sculpturing or perhaps a pallet knife used to mix different paint colours. One boot has a pencil, and the other a brush. 
The only correct answer came from Debra, who incidentally is a gifted artist herself. She even got all of the items correct apart from the knife which she thought might be an eraser. Well done Debra, and thank you to all of those who gave the quiz a shot.

Guess the Quiz?

 A rare piece of Antique Treen from c 1850 

This unusual piece of treen consist of a carved lady, whose boots and head pull off. To each is attached an item revealing what she is used for.  


Can you guess her purpose, and what the three items might be? She was not used in a domestic environment. 
I will leave the post up for one week. If you get the correct answer then I will hold it back so that everyone has the same chance.
