Description from the seller

Elegant pocket pill holder made of 800 silver, embellished on the lid with a large natural cabochon agate with suggestive moss-like inclusions in shades of green, gray and amber.
The stone shows fascinating internal veining that recalls natural landscapes, a characteristic feature of this variety of agate.
The oval shape is finely worked with ornamental relief motifs in a classic-floral taste along the entire side band. Gold-plated interior, intended to preserve the contents. Snap closure in good working order.
Stamped 800 for the silver fineness and with a visible maker's mark, indicative of European production in the 20th century.

Good overall condition with normal signs of wear, slight surface scratches and patina consistent with age.

A refined and decorative object, ideal for collectors of small silver items or for those seeking an elegant and original vintage accessory.
