Antique Primitive mixed metal coffin shaped box unusual workmanship

 

This is a really heavy little box that is made of different metals. You can see the copper coming thru as well as the brass.. The mixed metal content is something that intrigues me, as it was probably a very primitive method that this was made. It measures 4 1/2' x 2 1/2' 1 1/3" tall. Inside is a miniature faux skeleton to give you an idea  of what it might have been used for.... I will leave that one up to your imagination..       VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our  pieces regardless of which site it comes from.All layaway payments will need to be in the form of a check or money order only.  Please remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect but they sure are full of old history and charm.
