This beautiful box is made of calligraphic jasper, which is composed of sediments containing fossilized shells found in deposits in India, Egypt, Russia, and certain African countries.
The stone is carefully cut, and the colors contrast beautifully, highlighting the calligraphic effect of the shells.
The hinged mount, unhallmarked and tested with a touchstone, is made of silver-plated silver on the inside.
It closes perfectly.
We date this box to the 19th century.
