This looks fairly early in a Persian style, was it made for that market I wonder? it plays "Daisy Bell" and "If you knew Suzie" .The movement has the anchor mark of the renowned Thorens factor ,SwitzerlandThought to have been a snuff box by owner.
Edited Dec.30th 2019. IT IS PERSIAN. Came across Joseph Touma Collection of Islamic art and it shows an engraved small bowl, Persian late 19th century and
almost certainly by the same hand. The date though has to be late 1920s at least due to the 2nd tune 1st published in 1925.
