Treen Heart Shaped Box Made of Three Woods variegated I am not entirely sure

I am not entirely sure the purpose of the green stick included

1860s watercolor is challenging to photograph (there's lots of glare in these images)

with the aid of the bottle of wine and cigarettes before him on this fabulously checkerboard painted table

with extraordinary surfaces decoration suggesting infinite branching

Treen Heart Shaped Box Made of Three Woods variegated I am not entirely sureA lovely little treen heart shaped box made of three different woods, with a very tight fitting lid lid with carved underside that sits flush and holds tight. No nails, so I presume the base (walnut I believe) was glued on, though done very carefully. I'd guess early 20th century or so. Perfect now for holding or delivering! a rings or other precious little things. 1 5 8" w X 1 13 16" t x 7 8" d and in very good condition, with one small rough spot
