Magnificent Painting in Miniature, "Charity" Portrait mounted on Burl and Shell Snuff Box J. Gone This one has had someFine lathe turned earliest 19th century French burl wood snuff box with an exceptional gouache miniature on ivory depicting the classical subject of Roman Charity (Caritas Romana).
