the domed cover decorated in low relief with radiating stylised foliate motifs, centred with a floret, all enclosed within a raised circular border, the fitted box raised on a low foot, the translucent stone of a snow white tone with natural veins and inclusions
Provenance
Acquired in Paris between the 1970s and the early 90s.
