Reduced from $150.

This is a vintage or antique Berber Quran carrying case, probably from Morocco.  

6.75" high without dangles, 5.25" wide, 1.5" thick.

It is made of metal with elaborate all over pattern of raised rope designs accented with orange-red, blue and green enamel.

The top opens by sliding to side.

There are hooks on side, probably for cord to enable hanging box around neck.

Someone knowledgeable about this item advised me that it dates to about the 1920's or '30's.  He said that this one is superior in design to the others that he has seen.

Excellent vintage/antique condition.  There are a few minor skips in the enamel in some of the circles, which adds to the vintage charm.
