Early 19th C. Brass Vesta with Engraved Sun Shining Through Clouds handwoven throw and would command any space

and would command any space in which they are hung

then square divided by color into four quadrants opening out to four gateways

with the measurements running in opposite directions

I have searched but not found anything about John

Early 19th C. Brass Vesta with Engraved Sun Shining Through Clouds handwoven throw and would command any spaceI believe this was made to function as a vesta rather than as a snuff box, early 19th century European I believe. And a sun casting rays through the clouds seems just right to me as the imagery engraved on a case for matches made long before there was electricity let there be light! 2 3 4" x 1 1 2" x 3 4" and in very good condition, with just a couple of small spots to the brass, which I have not touched. Opens easily and closes tight and flush.
