Artist: Non Signée

A rare and charming find, this pretty box with a sliding lid from the Queyras region, carved from fir with rosettes and a grid pattern, opens to reveal six compartments.

This box, in good condition, is a living testament to an awakening to the mineral world within the immensity of this fascinating landscape: the Queyras, a waking dream.
