This very rare filigree Combination Box has a top and bottom opening with pull off covers decorated with a central circular disc and semi circles in sizes. The sides are decorated with bands of crescents and filigree work. One end opens to reveal a small compartment, most probably, used for beauty patches and the other a larger compartment probably for gaming counters. The box is in excellent condition and this is the first time we have seen such a box with two compartments.
Length: 0.9 inches, 2.25 cm.
Diameter at the top: 0.9 inches, 2.25 cm.
