Nice Asian Silver Six Petals Lotus 7 Compartment Spice Container

Description

Presented is a wonderful quality southeast Asian spice container from the late
1800s or early 1900s. The container is done in the shape of a six petaled
flower, with each petal and the flower's center all being a separate container
with hinged lid. The lids of the containers have a simple geometric design.
There are no identifying marks beyond some type of script on the bottom, but we
believe this is of southeast Asian or Indian origin, at least 800 purity silver.
This is a fantastic and interesting piece of silver construction, and would be
great for a dresser box, pill box, or any similar purpose.
This piece is in excellent condition. The hinges are all in good working
order. There are no splits, no breaks, and no repairs.
The container is approximately 8 inches across and stands 2 3/8 tall at the
highest point.
This piece weighs 573 grams.
