Summary
The lid of a small box made from card and wrapped in gold coloured paper and embroidered ribbon. The lid has come away from the base of the box. The top has a piece of fabric decorated with stitched geometric and floral shapes in green, blue and red cotton. There are two pieces of discoloured Sellotape stuck to one side which seem to have been used to keep the base and the lid together. There is also a small piece of ivory coloured plastic, shaped like a sharp tooth, attached by a fraying piece of embroidered ribbon which was used to secure the box closed.
