AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid box for yellow gold pills, 18 Kt (750), finely crafted in a woven basket pattern on both the side walls and the lid (which closes with a snap), while the bottom is smooth (see the photos that are an integral part of the description). On the inner edge we can see the 750 hallmark and the marks identifying its origin. This is a small masterpiece that combines the value of gold per gram (it weighs 18 grams) with an elegance in the design that makes it suitable for a collection or to display in a glass cabinet. The lot is offered to countries within the geographical limits of the European Union with the only exception of Great Britain.
