Notes
The piece is a small box (jewellery box) made of ivory. The box is cylindrical in shape, and unfortunately it originally had a missing lid. The decorative elements engraved on the body of the box consist of geometric shapes consisting of upper and lower bands filled with small central circles. As for the space between them, it appears as similar circles, where there are points that form semi-circular arcs. Remnants of black paint can be seen on the upper straps, and red paint on the bottom of the box.
