    I'd love opinions as to whether this appears to be Native American, African, or hobbyist.

    Specs:

    Lidded wood box
    7" x 3" x 1.75" (18 x 8 x 4.5 cm)
    In-set beaded patch, which has come partially un-glued
    The uniformity in size and shape of the beads means manufactured, I assume
    Furthermore, the beads on the underside are more colorful and vivid than the top, suggesting at least a little age

    Thank you!
