Miscellaneous, Sterling Silver Box, Footed, Hallmark, Vintage 80's, 399

LOOK AT THIS LOVELY LITTLE THING! 

This tiny vintage box is a Navajo creation by Ernest Bilagody. Made of sterling silver, this little footed box features intricate stampwork to the sides and lid. We can’t be certain what its original purpose was, but it could serve as a bedside jewelry tray or it sure would make a stylish little pillbox!

Ernest Bilagody (1955-; Navajo). Active since 1980s. Chisel work; stamp work; set stones.
