[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 10503526, member: 84"]Hi, I found this last week thrifting & at first thought it held a Bible because of it's book shape, but opening it shows what is probably a sewing box (could be a cool jewelry box!) because of the needle in the top part that opens. What is it made of? I thought shell, but on the 1 side where a decorative ball is missing n g you can see where a small hole has been drilled into the box - and you can see it's made of wood, with a thin layer of whatever the outer shell is made of. What is that outer shell? Has anyone seen one like this, because Google search/Ai couldn't find another like it either? Folk art? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
