This unique vintage vessel is crafted in the form of a traditional cricket box (or gourd), made from dark, polished wood or a hardened resin material. The exterior is heavily textured with a fine, carved cross-hatch pattern that mimics the skin of a gourd. The neck features a band of deeply carved, overlapping leaf-like motifs. The piece separates into two sections: a domed lid and a base. The flat top of the lid is fitted with an ornate, circular, gilded metal plate featuring intricate openwork (reticulation) and a central symbol. The interior of the base also contains a similar, smaller reticulated metal piece. The interior is unlined and dark. The piece rests on a flat, circular foot.
