Crab jewelry box. European school. 20th century

Descriptio Enameled and gilded bronze. Dimensions: 5 x 10 x 7 cm. Small crab-shaped jewelry box, made of bronze with blue and gold enamel. The design combines naturalism and fantasy, standing out for its rich colors and the intricate detail of the legs and claws. The gilded inlays add contrast and sophistication. This piece, typical of 20th-century European decorative metalwork, reflects a taste for curiosities and the symbolism of the sea as a source of life and mystery. The fusion of functionality and sculpture makes this jewelry box an example of refined craftsmanship with a surreal touch.
