Rare “arte povera” pin box (on a wooden core) with motifs distributed on all sides characteristic of this decorative “Venetian” process; decoration of small countryside and musical instruments in a general surround of fine flowers and small foliage.

Beautiful object, in good condition, witness of its time, authentic; the fittings as well as the closure are original, the interior is lined perfectly well with a fine fabric in good condition.
