Sculptural carved bone snuff box with a domed, ribbed body and stepped lid topped by a turned finial. The form recalls Neoclassical and Indo-Colonial design, with strong architectural symmetry and a pleasing weight in the hand. Expertly hand-carved in segmented panels, showcasing natural tonal variation and patina consistent with age.
The interior reveals a wooden liner, typical of period snuff or spice boxes, providing structural stability and contrast to the polished bone exterior. A striking decorative object on its own, or a refined addition to a cabinet of curiosities.
