It is typical of Toledan craftsmanship and referred to as Damascene.
This particular trinket box was purchased in Spain in 1970, and is part of a collection of trinket boxes being offered for your consideration in my shop that were collected over a span of 20 years, from the 70s to the 90s.
Its hinge and snap lock are in fine working order. The box itself has no dents and is in age appropriate condition. less
