Description

This was my grandfathers cigar box. It has a silver exterior, ornate with cherubs and roses. Inscribed on the left front edge of the lid is "FE Department de Trust a" and on the right is my grandfather's name, followed by the date, "18-11-29 Madrid".

There are two tiny squares on the lid handle. The background detail seems high, as there are perhaps thousands of tiny dots, adding to the texture. Please let me know what other details I should provide.
