1920s Indian bazzar work.
A sandalwood tabletop cigarette dispencer profusly chip carved with an intricate floral design. When opened it presented 54 cigarettes in different directions.
The lid carved with a BW style badge in high relief this appears to be a lesser quality work than the rest of the box. St. Andrew has been replaced with AP monogram the motto is misspelt and the sphinx has become a duck.
1st Bn in India 1919-36.
