All inlaid, could really do with a clean.

Here is the other side as requested...

The 4 screws holding the cover on appear to be missing although the hinges and mounting points are working and intact.



Would have been great to see this complete with whatever contents inside.

Hi, after a recent clear-out I found the following item at the bottom of a box of old cutlery.
I believe it to be an Indian, ebony carved book cover with bone inlay from the 19th century.

Would anyone here have any idea as to what its value may be?







Any help greatly appreciated.
