This is an antique wooden box with an intricate colourful micro mosaic pattern down the sides and bordering the lid. The centre of the lid has a repousse metal panel that has been embossed with an image of a King or similar with men stood around him. This after a little googling I found to be Islamic - Persian sort of design. No maker's marks etc. In collectable condition with normal signs of age and use wear.

Looks like the metal panel may have been gold plated at one point but 99% of the gilding has worn off. Some of the detailing on the highest points of the metal are worn. The lid doesn't fit onto the base completely flush but that's just because it's handmade and not perfect. There is a crack down one of the lid's corners.

5 inches x 3 and 1/2 inches x 1 and 3/4 inches. Scale is usually an English 1 penny coin which is 20mm in diameter which is just short of 7/8ths of an inch in diameter. In the title or description it means. Condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. We cannot and will not declare items below the sale value.
