Very Fine, Unusual Antique Needle Lace Medallion of Native American Figure ceramic horse and rider I've always got an eye

I've always got an eye out for vintage DLM (Developmental  Learning Materials) sets produced in the 60s and 70s for use in schools

and is a good one either hung from one nail or just sitting on the shelf

original to the piece

and a few old shrinkage lines to the bottom tray

usually tiered plant stands in this manner

Very Fine, Unusual Antique Needle Lace Medallion of Native American Figure ceramic horse and rider I've always got an eyeAfter doing some research, I have a theory that this very fine handmade needle lace medallion was created by an Eduord Marie Verpooten (Edy Verporte), a native of Belgium who lived in Spokane Washington in the late 19th early 20th century. There is a figural medallion commemorating the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition of 1909 held in the collection of the Smithsonian that is very similar in manner, and the closest thing I can find this. It makes sense
