Carved black box of unknown origin and age ...

This black, wooden (ebony ?) box carved with a king ? and crocodiles measures 8 cm X 19 cm X 12 cm.

I haven't found anyone like it on the Internet.

Maybe you can tell where it was made and when ?

If you can, this photo will be sufficient.

 

Latin America somewhere.

Debora

 

I suspect a modern Indonesian origin, with motifs based on traditional imagery such as Batak lizards -

And human figures such as these on a Sumba ikat textile -

One photo is not sufficient to confirm age and origin. The bottom and interior may reveal wear and other signs of the age of the wood, whether it is a dark wood or stained, and whether fittings such as hinges (if any) are old or recent. Views of the other sides may show other motifs that could be helpful in identification.

Do you have this box in hand, or is it something you are considering buying and only one photo is available on the listing?

 

I agree, Indonesian, and fairly modern.
