This is a beautiful example of "tramp art", a form of folk art in which hand-cut layers of wood are glued and nailed together in geometric pyramid- or stepped patterns. 

The inside of the box is lined with stitched fabric and features a small mirror in the lid and a pincushion. 

This dates from the late 19th century.
