Description:  Boxes like these housed a woman's cosmetics, needles, beads and other personal possessions.  This example is very old and shows significant wear and use!  In areas, the incised decoration is slightly obscured by the heavily encrusted patina.  There are encrusted layers of red ocher pigment on the inside, mostly concentrated on the lid.  The lid is original but is slightly warped from age.  There are several age cracks and minor chips.
