The box features elaborate hand-carved decoration including birds/doves, chain links, flowers, fruit, clasped hands, open hand with heart, clenched hand motif, and raised oval photo frames.
Interior is lined in red velvet and contains multiple antique family photographs mounted in carved oval frames. Wonderful piece of early 20th-century American folk art with Civil War / Confederate veteran provenance. Displays beautifully and would appeal to collectors of folk art, Americana, Texas history, Civil War veteran material, and antique photography.
