Wooden carved argyle sweater carved and painted by Joe A Avarista. Avarista was commissioned to make a series of sweater boxes to house a set of rare ink pens. This box is one of a kind as there are no other sweaters in this style. Joe Avarista is known for creating the "leather" carved moto jackets.
