This is a captivating vintage bronze trinket box, skillfully sculpted by the renowned American artist Scott Nelles.

Design and Craftsmanship

The box features a high-relief lid with an intricately detailed, textured face of a bearded man, often likened to figures such as the 'Green Man' or a sage-like character. Its oval shape and robust design showcase Nelles' signature style of whimsy and nostalgia, utilizing traditional sand-casting methods.

Material and Provenance

Crafted from solid bronze, the piece possesses a substantial weight and a rich, aged patina with natural verdigris accents, adding to its vintage appeal. The piece is signed and dated 'Nelles 1998' on the bottom, identifying it as an authentic creation from the artist's studio.

There is a little tarish and I posted pics of it. I'm just going to leave it as is so the buyer can clean it to their liking Thank you
