Seal paste box
Seal paste box by Artist. Round, closed box with a domed lid. The box appears to be made of metal, likely silver or pewter, and exhibits darker spots and discolorations on its surface, indicating signs of wear or tarnish. A thin line encircles the box, suggesting a seam where the lid meets the base. The box has a smooth, rounded shape, typical of a seal paste box used historically for storing sealing wax.
