Item Overview
- Form: Hexagonal (six-sided) lidded keepsake or jewelry box.
- Style: Exhibits influences of Middle Eastern or North African (Egyptian/Ottoman) metalwork and geometric design.
- Materials: Features a mixed-metal appearance, likely comprised of brass or bronze with copper and silver-toned overlays (possibly alpaca or silver-plated).
- Central Ornament: Inset with a prominent turquoise-colored cabochon, framed by a twisted wire "rope" border.
Detailed Description
- Lid: The top features a striking six-pointed star (hexagram) motif in a textured silver-toned finish. This central star is surrounded by triangular copper-toned inlays set within a brass-toned frame, creating a layered, geometric sunburst effect.
- Body: The sides of the box are heavily decorated with intricate repoussé or stamped patterns, including repeating circular and scrollwork motifs. Twisted wire rope detailing accents the upper and lower rims of the base.
- Craftsmanship: The piece demonstrates traditional hand-assembled metalwork techniques, common in "Grand Tour" souvenirs or ethnic folk art from the mid-to-late 20th century.
- Dimensions: 1x3in
