This is one very lovely box, made in the Holy Land, and brought back to England as a keepsake. It is covered in opalescent mother of pearl with abalone accents with a Star of David design on top. It is lined with the original red silk. A real beauty! Condition is very good: two flaws, the hinge has been replaced and is a tiny bit loose, and there has been some minor damage to the pearl at the base. Dimensions: 3 1/2" at the widest, 1 3/4" high.
