The ornamentation and script are symmetrical and dense, consistent with luxury metalwork from the Qajar court and noble workshops.

Use: High-status personal or diplomatic casket (for documents, jewels, or relics).10 x 8 x 5 1/4 in., (25.5 x 20.4 x 13.5 cm.)Very good, with minor loss of inlay in high-relief areas. Beautiful, consistent patination. Engraving and script are still legible and aesthetically rich, important for both collector and academic value.
