Description: | Painted wooden figure of a flower seller. The figure is female, and sits on top of a box. The box has "Ceylon tea" and "produce of Ceylon" written across two sides. The figure and box are affixed to a base which has been painted to look like flagstones. The figure holds a basket, which has since become detached. There are four loose bouquets inside of the basket and the figure holds a fifth. There is also a piece of paper used for a bouquet inside of the basket.
