AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Silver Pill Box – Mythological Sphinx Decoration – Hinged Lid
An unusual and highly decorative silver pill box, featuring elaborate relief decoration inspired by ancient and mythological imagery.
The circular hinged lid is richly decorated in high relief with a sphinx-like mythical creature, combining a human head with an animal body and stylised wings. The same decorative motif continues on the interior of the lid, adding considerable visual interest to the piece.
The sides of the box are ornamented with a repeating geometric diamond pattern with raised circular details, framed by beaded borders. The recessed areas retain a dark natural patina, providing an attractive contrast with the polished raised decoration.
The box closes with a hinged lid and has a plain silver interior showing natural signs of age and use.
No visible hallmark is present. The piece has been professionally tested and confirmed as silver. As there is no hallmark indicating fineness, no specific silver purity is attributed.
