Old Handmade Wooden Toy Ladder antique checkers and which a little research

and which a little research has taught me is a late 18th/early 19th century Italian Renaissance Revival marquetry panel

with some scattered smearing/staining and corner wear/small corner folds to the white card

I am really not certain the age on this piece

which I found in Kansas City

Lapid pieces tend to be reminscent of Scandinavian and West German modernist ceramics
