<B>AN INTRICATELY CARVED WALNUT CUBAN CIGAR BOX</B></I> - This is a very impressive cigar box made in Cuba shortly after their independence in 1902. The box is carved with intricate shield devices amid a floral pattern on the sides. The top is especially beautiful as the Republic of Cuba seal is deeply carved into what appears to be Jamaican walnut wood, a tree commonly found in Cuba. Two palm trees flank the seal of the top which is trimmed with additional carving. The feet of the box are carved as well. This is an attractive and heavy cigar box from the earliest days of the Republic of Cuba.<BR><BR> <B>Provenance:</B></I> <I>The Tharpe Collection of American Military History</B></I><BR> <BR><B>Exhibited:</B></I> <I>The Liberty Heritage Society Museum</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Larg (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
