    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    A fine, small, round box made of finely carved and openwork corozo, decorated on the top with a cherub playing a trumpet; on the back, a quiver of arrows and a crossed torch, all set against arabesques and foliate scrolls. The work of a sailor or convict*, dating from the 19th century.

    This box is in good condition. It is very interesting due to the fineness of its carving.

    Note: tiny nicks on the rim (barely visible in reality), slight wear consistent with age, see photos.

    ____________________________ *Coconut, like corozo, was worked by sailors or convicts. The latter worked it to pass the time, but also and especially to earn a little money to improve their daily lives. It can also be attributed to sailors during their long voyages. These coconut or corozo objects are fine examples of folk art.
