This is a nice antique arts & crafts French Loys Paris hand hammered art metal covered box. I believe it is supposed to be a vegetable or gourd form with patterned decoration on the top. In pretty good condition as the pics show with some minor surface wear to the metal and it comes exactly as shown. It measures 7" at the widest point and is 5 1/2" tall.
Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage.
