This is a new, unused handcrafted maple wood jewelry box or chest. (Could it be burl wood?) The artist has signed it, "George Knowles, Myrtle Creek, OR" It says "maple" on the other end of the lid. See the pictures. It is lined in maroon felt inside and on the bottom. A small compartment fits neatly in the box. Obviously, it would be appropriate for a male or female.  The lid is 9 ¾” long x 4 1/8” wide at the widest part. The jewelry insert is 4 ½” long and about 3 ½ “ wide. The insert sits on 2 raised ledges.
