    Cardamom pods and saffron
    Small damage on one side where the hinge is no longer connected to the lid, but the rest seems to be in great condition.

    Age?

    19th century. Could do with a drop of oil, you don't want those minor cracks to develop further, plus it looks better.
    I sold quite a few of these cuties in the past.
