Rectangular banded onyx stone trinket box with fitted lid and knob, made in Mexico. This hand-carved decorative box shows the amber, gold, cream, and white banding collectors look for in Mexican onyx pieces.
Material is onyx stone, with a polished, translucent look and natural banding throughout.
Label present on the side reads “Onyx Stone / Hand Carved / Made in Mexico.”
Form is rectangular with a separate fitted lid topped by a rounded knob.
Coloration is amber, gold, cream, and white banded stone, with warm honey tones on the lid.
Hand-carved construction is supported by the visible label and the shaped lid knob.
Overall condition is good, with light surface wear and minor edge scuffs visible in the photos.
Made as a small keepsake or vanity box, it would have held jewelry, mementos, or other tiny treasures. Today it works well as tabletop decor, a collector’s display piece, or a functional storage box.
