Lovely late 19thC/early 20th century Arts & Crafts iron or steel casket with textured surface, the corners and hinge beautifully made with shaped cut-outs and attached to the box with hand-made studs.
The top is applied with a rather marvellous looking sea creature, very much in the Newlyn manner.
The interior is wood lined.
In good antique condition with minor surface wear commensurate with age and handling.
The underneath has the remains of an old felt covering.
It measures 14 x 10 x 5 cm and weighs 430 grams.
