Housed in 2.875 x 2.875 x 1.75 cloth and paper covered box with attached lid. Paper title label on exterior of lid with colophon on the opposite side of the lid. Maryann Riker: "When I was young, I spent many a rainy afternoon picking through my mom and aunts button jar and button box. I loved the variety--each one its own special work of art.
