    Description

    This finely crafted low silver allow box with hand engraved leaf and bird designs accented in black measures just 7/8" tall x 1 5/8" x 1 1/2" overall and weighs under 1/2 oztroy.  It dates from the 19th century and is mounted with latch and heavy-duty hinge as well as two pierced posts for wearing on a cord.  Often containing sacred writings, these finely crafted boxes are worn as talismans/amulets to protect the wearer.  This example shows wear and denting from years of use and some fine slits in the hand-hammered deeper details.
