Description

A square wood box with chip carving ornamentation on all four sides and the top.  Three of the sides feature a carved diamond pattern.  The fourth side features the carved diamond pattern with a curved tapered opening lined in red velvet.  The top features an intricate dial surrounded by a leaf motif in each corner and a border of small lines.  The opening of the box follows the circular pattern on one side, so that one side of the box slides open to reveal a false bottom.  Below the sliding portion of the lid is a round compartment lined with red velvet, revealed when the box is turned upside down.  Unattributed.
