Now these things seem fabulous, elven, stagger the imagination, give a lot of space for imagination, settled in many collections, becoming loved.This trinket box is richly decorated with ornaments: dragon skin, spikelets, orchids, leaves,... ribbons, cameo with the goddess ...At the bottom of the box - DEPOSE 287The interior decoration has been completely replaced - the original decoration was also sky blue and was almost completely lost due to the time ... - the casket is over 100 years old. Nevertheless, the hinges are in good condition, there are no dents and losses in the metal, the gilding has been almost completely erased, which makes the “dragon skin” even more attractive.
