Sale Sold out

a carved ox bone pill box unlike its peers in that it has a twist top, rather than being connected by a chord/knot system

it has incredibly intricate scenes with someone's wise ancestors amidst diverse plants. if there's a way to screw it tight so that the scene on the cap and the base match, that trick hasn't revealed itself yet.

until recently it had a very worn gold fill over brass bail, with the tiniest opening. the original bail has been replaced by a handmade, wire wrapped sterling silver bail that's been lightly hammered to help it keep its shape. it can easily be replaced with another bail (silver or gold) by any jeweler, but this was a cost-conscious way to get it back into circulation

cylinder measures ~24.5mm x ~18mm

large bail has a ~7mm opening

in good vintage condition

it has the design quirk where when the top is screwed on tight the image doesn't align

handmade, wire-wrapped sterling silver bail is organic in shape and form and the bail has been lightly hammered to help it retain its shape, but will show minor hammer marks & flatness from this technique

some discoloration / color variation throughout the box

remnants of dark accents in some of the design details
