The exterior features soft ivory and pale stone hues, while the interior reveals a vivid blue core, a hallmark of hand-carved onyx objects prized for their material contrast and organic beauty.

The cylindrical form and fitted lid suggest mid-century decorative sensibilities, blending functional design with natural stone artistry. Subtle tool marks and variations in color attest to the hand-worked nature of the piece, making each surface visually engaging from every angle.

The container remains in original condition with light wear consistent with age, including small natural inclusions and minor edge wear visible in the photos. Dimensions: 2.6" W x 2.6" D x 4" H. See less
