Description:
- Beautiful silver pill box, oval in shape.
- The box is decorated with a beautiful mythological scene, in which Ares appears in the centre, the god of war with a helmet on a cockerel. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, also wearing a helmet and holding a shield and an owl at her side. And finally, a naked woman toasting and a little angel above them all. The rest of the box is plain.
- It opens and closes perfectly. The hinge is in perfect condition.
- It has a small medium size, so it is probably intended for a pillbox.
- It has the silver contrast on the inside of the box, on the base.
- The fact that an object has a distinctive mark or contrast is a very rare detail and of great importance for the interest of the piece.
