About this work

Rectangular box with two silver hinges and a lock plate. On the four sides and the lid always a central shaped field with a landscape or a river landscape with pavilions, trees and figures, very finely carved so that an illusion of depth is created (especially the representation on the front is very successful). Around these fields bands with flower vines and smaller fields with miniature landscapes or flower vines. The inside lined with green velvet.
