Bohemian Antique

It's a cold, dark, wet and miserable day so there's going to be little chance of an outside blip today. I was going to use this snuff box as my subject earlier in the week but I could get the lighting right. I think I've managed to pick up the fancy detail of the carving today? I'm not sure what type of wood it's made from or how old it is but I can remember that I acquired it from my Nana a number of years ago. I'd ask her but unfortunately her memory isn't what it used to be. You can't really tell from the photo, but it's been carved to look like a small book.

After speaking with my Father he assures me it dates back to the 1800?s.
