Description
-
Cigar tin. On the top is an illustration of a black man smoking a cigar with a caricatured bright red lip. The man wears a tuxedo with a flower pinned to his lapel. At the top of the box, the word "Bolknak" is printed in thin red-orange letters, matching the man's lips. Two inches from the bottom of the box, the word "Horma" appears in bold, art-deco red font, again the same colour as the man's lips. At the bottom is a black banner, on which is printed "Black & White" in white text. Around the tin's lid is a red-orange banner. The bottom of the box is gold coloured and worn. The box itself is quite flimsy and worn, and does not open or close easily.
