    Does anyone know what the origin of this box might be? Or what the hallmark says...it looks like Farsi but I'm not sure really. Thanks for any info.

    Welcome october.
    Pretty box. I don't recognize it as Persian, I would say Syrian or Iraqi.
    It is not a hallmark, but likely the manufacturer's name. It is upside down, btw.;)

    Farsi uses Arabic script with a few additions in the same style, so unless you can read either it is near impossible to tell the difference.

    Thank you! I have no hope of ever reading it! Glad to know which way is up though.

    Talked with an Iraqi man who said it is handmade probably from Syria or Morocco. Not great quality.

    Not Moroccan, so probably Syrian. I agree, not great quality, stamped decoration, no handwork. But nice as a trinket box.
