Description from the seller
Rare handcrafted .925 fine silver pillbox.
The box is fitted with a well-closing hinged lid.
The lid is hand-embellished with a beautiful inlaid decoration of a stylized Pre-Columbian / Aztec bird.
The meander motif on the body of the bird is typical of Andean / Taxco tourist silver from the 1960s–1980s.
The box is small and solid, with a perfectly closing lid featuring a snap closure and a hinge at the back.
Nice collector’s item and ideal as a pillbox, snuff box, or for small jewelry.
