This snuff box is about three inches long, 1.5 inches tall with a width of approximately 2.5 inches. A resonated old photo of a young lady in a bonnet showing her red curly hair is situated atop the case and surrounded by a raised floral design.
The left side view has a depiction of two characters in a library environment, one of a magi and the other of greater importance with a well-developed demeanor in a big feathery hat. The front view depicts people of royal nature, a king, a guard his magi and possibly his queen kneeling at his feet. Scrolling on through to the right side of the item is a guard and a spear with his dog facing towards a man of which is hovering over what seems to be a dead child, next to the man hovering is a woman with a spear drawn aiming towards to the guard and his dog. The back is a depiction of a casket while two hovers over it and the others are in prayer, however it may be the mother situated far right of the picture bidding her farewell. The inside of the snuff box has a red cotton cloth that seems partially attached to the inner walls using glue, however it maybe someone's attempt to refurbish the item.
There are no other distinguishing markings that would allow me to identify the maker of this product. The photo within the resin maybe a print as being octagon shaped marks all throughout the surface with some line's replica of the back of an American dollar bill. The gold paint on the item shows signs of deterioration in white coloring, however the raised characters and overall details of the item are intact and in great shape.
