AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Covered box in natural jasper, sculpted and pierced – Indonesian or Indian floral decor
Description :
Exceptional round covered box in hand-sculpted natural jasper, a work of great technical finesse considering the compactness and the high hardness of this semi-precious stone.
The raw rock reveals superb natural marbling in warm and complex hues, blending tones of burnt sienna, old rose, chocolate and cream beige. The removable lid is entirely sculpted with an openwork pattern of foliage and scrolls, centered by a floral rosette. The perimeter of the box is, for its part, adorned with blooming flowers sculpted in high relief.
Perfectly fitted, this decorative box with a satin finish and a pronounced mineral presence will be ideal as a jewelry box, a refined catchall, or a high-curiosity object on a sideboard.
Materials: Natural jasper (semi-precious hard stone)
Weight: 697 g
Dimensions: Diameter 10 cm | Height 5.5 cm
Condition: Perfect condition. The size and the fit between the lid and the base are impeccable.
