This beautifully detailed piece features a scrimshaw style ink etched illustration of insects and flowers around the exterior between borders of flowers, and a intricately detailed carved openwork hinged lid which allows for ample air circulation for the insect inside.  These containers were traditionally used to house crickets.  Very good condition, no chips or cracks.
