Fine 18th-19th century gold box. The hinged top features a central cartouche with a coat of arms surrounded by scrolling decorative and floral motifs. The arms show a crest of crossed flags and a fish natant above a crowned forward-facing helmet; the ornate shield features a device of the same crossed flags and fish; elaborate mantlings flank the shield. The bottom has a leafy vine border. The sides resemble a column base with decorative and floral motifs. Inside the top is a Latin inscription in script: Vir cui cognomen praenobile produit aurum Testantur laudes Musa Themisque Tuns. The hallmarks have not been identified. Superficial abrasion is within the realm of normal wear. Size: 3.5" (9cm) long, 2.75" (7cm) wide, 1.25" (3.2cm) high
