Artist signed hand painted small wood box

Artist signed hand painted small wood (?) box. Feels like wood to me , it is painted all over including the inside . Very cute and the artist Phylicia has talent in my opinion. Very adorable animal portrait on a box , I think the animal is a ferret , mink, groundhog ? . Measuring tape in pic to help visualize size . Dated 2004 . Thank you for looking . Primitive , country , cute , adorable decor
