Vintage Enameled Fancy Engraved Personal Hinged Box Snuff Pills Cream Prayer Beads Ash Asian Eastern Turkish
This is a vintage hand crafted small personal hinged lidded jar, box, container with beautiful enamel work and etched hand crafting in solid brass. It has some writing across the top but I can't read it. Would be good for Pills, Cream, Snuff, Prayer Beads. From the writing it looks like it could be Asian, Middle Eastern, Turkish etc, Other than some small dimpled dings in the brass on the lower sides from age and use it is in excellent condition. The lid locks securely and stays in place. The top has lovely workmanship and no damage. Size is 1 1/4" across the enameled top, just about 1 1/2" across the center of the body and 7/8" tall off the table north to south. The brass has quite a bit of age patina which has not been cleaned. This is a lovely vintage box for your personal items.
