AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a snuff box (tabaqueira) or pocket jewelry box, oval in shape, made of low-purity silver.

• Decorative Technique: The piece features exquisite applied filigree work and granulation. The lid is decorated with phytomorphic motifs (leaves and tendrils) and volutes that converge to a central raised element. The sides (decorative band) repeat the pattern of arabesques and granulation points, giving a dense, three-dimensional texture.
• Interior: The interior shows a rougher finish, typical of hand-made pieces.

Width: 5.5 cm
Depth: 4 cm
Weight: 15 g
