A 12: Object/ painted box

When I went to Zurich, I took a suitcase - one of those brown ones made of cardboard. In it I had packed a few clothes as well as books, my work reference, a small salami and this box, on which I'd painted my village. In the box I put the cyclamen, the photos from home, and the Cologne that I'd been given by my first flame.
