PATTERNED RED JASPER BOX
Handcrafted in Italy
Stone source: Africa
A lapidary box styled from banded red Jasper displaying pale rose bands against a deep red background. The Jasper has been 'butterflied' to produce a matching right/left 'mirror image' pattern on the lid and the unique patterning is continued skillfully down the front of box - creating an abstract art pattern in stone. The interior is lined in black onyx and is finished with gold-plated brass furniture and felt 'feet'. In excellent condition, this fine box measures 7 x 4 ¼ x 1 5/8 inches high (18 x 10 cm).
