Polka Dotted Tiger Cowry Shell Pill Box

These vintage shell pill boxes were handcrafted in the Philippines between the 1950s and 1970s, a time when beautifully polished natural shells were paired with brass hardware to create elegant, functional keepsakes. Originally made as souvenir items, they were often sold in coastal resort towns or brought home from travels as tokens of tropical beauty. Each one carries its own markings and charm—no two are alike—making them lovely additions to a collection or perfect as a tiny treasure holder for your own meaningful objects.

• Made from natural shell and brass. Approximately 2 1/4" long. The polka dot pattern was made by filing down the cowry shell in spots. Very good condition and nice lustre.
