I think my favorite thing about this vintage Indian brass turtle box is its feet

The latch on the turtle's back swings open to reveal that it is in fact a box of sorts

it is an example of Dhokra metal casting

Green and Silver Round Lidded Burmese Lacquer Box with Incised Flowers and Vines ceramic vessel is 2 inches longThis wonderful Burmese box is a lovely green with finely detailed flowers and vines incised in silver. (See also its black and gold twin.) I like this one especially for its subtlety and mutability: it feels serene in a white or neutral space, but put it in a room filled with jewel tones and it takes on another life. The lacquer is in excellent condition, with no apparent wear at all to the interior and just slight scratching to the surface. 4. 75"
