Moroccan Quran Container in Brass and Silver, Enamel Motifs 18th/19thc - For Sale

Moroccan Quran Container in Brass and Silver, Enamel Motifs 18th/19thc
Price: $375.00
This is a very fine and early example of a Moroccan Quran box made of brass with a very heavy almost pure silver overlay.There is extensive impressed and embossed work on the brass and there are four plain heavy enamel monochrome features on the ffront no doubt to represent jewels.
The box measures 5in x 4.5in x just over 1.5in.
The piece is in excellent condition lined with tin which shows considerable age thus my early dating.One of the lugs seems to have parted company with the body at some time and has been rebraized.
The back has a believe a Hajri date which I have been unable to convert to the Grgorian calender.
