      I can’t imagine anything to do with the military being decorated in any fashion, and certainly not made so beautifully.
      Maybe he brought it home as a gift/souvenir from wherever he was stationed.
      Are there any ID markings on it?
    2. Watchsearcher Watchsearcher, 5 years ago
      Some trench art, possibly?

      Maybe something similar to the Japanese 'Inro' ? But from another asian culture ? Looks sort of like one anyway...

      Wow! That has to be what this is!! I’m impressed with that ID!

      the Inro seems possible..Japan art seems more fancy..anybody have an idea to other cultures...
