I've seen boxes like this one at a US auction in 2015 with that description. 14 cm x 25 cm x 18 cm. If you have another theory about its origin, then tell me !

Anglo-Indian is a possibility.
yes, i was going to say i think that this was made in India. beautiful box!
you might be right but i am not an expert in this , but i think there is a blossoming lotus in it , must be old must be good well done congrats
Thanks all for your knowledgable comments ! I'll have them in mind when I revise the boxes fact sheet.
Very interesting piece, are those metal partitions that hold the pieces of bone on the surface of the box? It does have an Asian feel to it. But nothing specifically traditional for one country.
Buddhist influence, can be both from India and the Far East. Thanks for posting.
My guess is thin brass plates, but I'm not sure. Thanks for the comment.
this can be from the far east anglo indian style ?
i think this is typically anglo indian
Thanks for the comments. Apparently some sort of consensus about Anglo-Indian.
