AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare solid-silver little box, with a finely engraved lid decorated with a dragon among the clouds; on the sides there are Taoist symbols engraved.

There are marks on the bottom visible in the photos.

Excellent Chinese craftsmanship from the first half of the 20th century.

Measurements: 60 mm x 45 mm x 28 mm

Weight: 41 grams

Excellent condition.

There are no stamps, but I guarantee the authenticity of the material because a silver test was performed by a jeweler (result shown in the photos).

The item is cleaned and inspected before being professionally packed and shipped with insured and traceable postage.
