Condition report

A most unusual and fine example, this small personal ditty box retains the original stylised "faux bamboo" decoration, along with a salmon pink painted interior, excellent hand wrought "rat tail" strap hinges and fitted lock. Of good small proportions the piece is in exceptional original condition, bearing minor scars and bruises commensurate with its age and function. A little gem!
