    This box is carved with flower's/trees on the top and made with a panelled front and 2 heads with legs on either end. I have no idea of the age as I am a beginner re. wooden items but it is intriguing. I can see what looks like horns or ears at the top of the heads. The way the legs are shown it almost looks like fire dogs? Any help much appreciated. I bought this in an auction so have no idea whatsoever about it other than I like it and am perplexed. Thank you
