Description from the seller

This is a solid silver box, weighing 117 grams, fully tested and confirmed to be silver.

The sides of the box are richly adorned with floral motifs and elephant figures, executed in deep repoussé and chasing work. The lid displays intricate ornamental patterns surrounding a smooth central medallion, typical of traditional South Asian silversmithing.

A beautiful example of fine craftsmanship, highly decorative and collectible.
