What is this little box

[jtw1313]

Any ideas what this is or what kind of shell......I have to say this thing has some quality put into it

The shell looks like a cross section of a small conch shell. Neat box!

I'd say cone shell, but still a fantastic box. Perhaps for a pearl necklace?

It is for potpourri to let the smell out.

It screams Victorian as far as age goes
