The hinged lid opens to a crimson silk-lined interior, the lining intact and evenly fitted. The interior lid panel framed in coromandel, showing natural tonal variation. Brass hinges and a fitted locking mechanism; working lock and key. The base stepped and molded. Dark coromandel throughout, with pronounced brown striations and natural variation in tone. Anglo-Indian circa 1860.
