A superior example of an antique Anglo Indian carved sandalwood box with sadeli work mosaic inlay. This is a good quality box of its type with superior quality carving and wide bands of mosaic inlays.

Of good size and condition with only tiny piece inlay missing and a part replaced piece of strip (see photos). Condition very good - original silvered brass hinges and lock. Brass bun feet .

Smells very strongly of lovely old antique sandalwood.
