I'd use it for serving a sliced pear and a bit of cheese along with a glass of wine

I'd keep this guy close at hand as a constant reminder to stay alert

Carved Bone African Trinket Boxes - A Pair elegant bowl 7 1/4” tallI love the carved faces on this pair of trinket boxes, which I believe are African and made of bone and what appears to be silver or silver plate (it is quite shiny.) She certainly looks like a crowned queen, and he looks like quite a wise man and also a bit like Santa Claus! These would be great on a vanity or dresser used as pill boxes or containers for rings and earrings. Sold as a pair. Each box measures 2 5 8" long x 1 1 4" wide x 1 1 8" tall.
