| DESCRIPTION | Antique solid sterling silver hinge lidded box with embossed decoration and a gilded interior. The scene to the lid features a pine tree behind a lady holding a baby and riding a donkey being led by a man holding a shepherd's crook. Both adults are wearing middle-eastern dress. Jesus, Mary and Joseph? Perhaps a pyx box although those are usually round or a relic box. Fully hallmarked to top rim of base, matching partial mark to lid and original assayer's scrape still visible to the base. |
