Brass tobacco box lid in heavy encrustation. 245 grams, 6-1/4" long and 2" wide. Very cool shipwreck artifact that is intact and clean, with lots of brassy color and all of the scenic design visible on top, the inside of it caked with heavy, rusty crud (impacted mud). Divers say that the Scilly Isles wrecks are generally "steamrollered" flat into the hard mud due to massive boulders rolling around the seabed, making diving there quite difficult. With certificate.Recovered from: Hollandia, sunk in 1743 off the Scilly Isles, southwest of England
