<p>[QUOTE="Houseful, post: 349117, member: 1067"]I’m unsure about this boxes use, I thought maybe tobacco as it does close tightly. There is some wording I can’t make out, KECNMCW? Which could be an indication where it was made. The front carving is George and the Dragon, the reverse is a Hindu Gandaberunda bird I believe. I like the carvings, even though they are naive. It’s probably a tourist item, and it looks like olive wood. Nearly 4ins diameter 1 inch deep. Any info please?[ATTACH=full]118087[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]118088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]118089[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]118090[/ATTACH]</p><p>~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
