Silver case with domed top entirely decorated with filigree, also on the underside. Arrangement of scrolls and volutes punctuated with dots and diamond-shaped cabochons; interior lined with gilded silver plates; lock. Portugal ? 18th century H. 9.8 cm - W. 13.9 cm - D. 10.1 cm - Weight : 775.5 g (slight distortion, minor restorations) This box, with its fine filigree work, does not appear to be similar to the Indo-Portuguese models. Its shape, its lock and the design of its entrance are all European, and probably Portuguese.
