Enamelled Dragonfly and Iris Figural Trinket Box

This is an oval-shaped trinket or jewelry box, likely constructed from a base metal such as pewter or a cast alloy, then embellished with enamel work and possibly rhinestones. The dominant color scheme features shades of purple, green, and cream/pale yellow. The lid is the most decorative element, showcasing a raised, dimensional design of a dragonfly perched amidst flowering iris buds and leaves. The dragonfly itself appears to be metal, possibly silver-toned or pewter, with its body and wings studded with small, clear or iridescent rhinestones, providing a subtle sparkle. The iris flowers and buds are depicted in varying shades of purple, while the surrounding leaves are a muted green. These elements are set against a cream or pale yellow background on the lid, all bordered by a rich, deep purple band. The sides of the box are a complementary, slightly lighter shade of purple enamel, with a finely ribbed or fluted texture visible on the metal rim just below the lid. A small, decorative clasp or hinge mechanism is visible on one side, adorned with a tiny raised detail. The overall style suggests a decorative, possibly art nouveau or art deco inspired piece, although it could also be a more contemporary item designed to evoke those aesthetics. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like chips or cracks in the enamel, though a slight patina or minor surface wear might be present on the metal components consistent with age or handling. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality for a decorative item of this type, with attention paid to the three-dimensional detailing of the dragonfly and floral elements. The bottom of the box is not visible, so manufacturing marks or precise age cannot be determined, but it likely dates from the late 20th century to present day.
