  We present new imaging and spectroscopy of the post-red supergiant binary
AFGL 4106. Coronographic imaging in H-alpha reveals the shape and extent of the
ionized region in the circumstellar envelope (CSE). Echelle spectroscopy with
the slit covering almost the entire extent of the CSE is used to derive the
physical conditions in the ionized region and the optical depth of the dust
contained within the CSE.
  The dust shell around AFGL 4106 is clumpy and mixed with ionized gas. H-alpha
and [N II] emission is brightest from a thin bow-shaped layer just outside of
the detached dust shell. On-going mass loss is traced by [Ca II] emission and
blue-shifted absorption in lines of low-ionization species. A simple model is
used to interpret the spatial distribution of the circumstellar extinction and
the dust emission in a consistent way.
