The warm brass tone case opens to reveal a deep burgundy interior, with beautiful age related patina throughout.

The design is reminiscent of midcentury Mexican Taxco mixed metalwork, including pieces associated with the Los Castillo tradition; however, this example is unmarked and no maker attribution is being made.

Good vintage condition with age appropriate patina, oxidation and surface wear. Please see photos for details. See less
