Quills are all in good condition with varying colors of sienna, umber and white which create an interesting pattern; some minor wear to finish on the lid. Many of these quill objects were made for the English market in the 19th century. This one is later. Labeled on the underside by a shop in Africa that sold it. A beautiful little box. See less
