Offered here is a very dear little snuff box of, I believe, yew wood. It is a medium colored wood with a pretty grain and burl. This box has a small inlaid diamond shape in the lid. The lid is interesting because the edge conforms to the grain of the wood on one side. On a corner of the box there is what I think is an open knot hole that the carver simply worked around. That may not be what it is, but it is not damage to the box. The interior is rough, but the outside of the box is smooth as silk to the touch. The hinge works fine. The box is in "as found" condition. It measures 3.5" by not-quite 2" by .75".
