Looks like an old print on a box lid?

It's a print of what looks like a Renaissance-era portrait or self-portrait. It's very familiar...Raphael or someone similar. Can't give you a value without more pix.

It is a box, Sorry but without better close up photos of construction , bottom, sides, and inside also measurements we can not be more specific about your box.   The first photo shows no silver but you stated "made ​​of wood and silver" also you said "snuff box size"
If it is snuff box size (???) then it would not be called a "jewelry box". How do you know it is an oil painting and that it is very old???

Could this portrait be Richard III? I cannot find this exact portrait yet, but it looks like there are quite a few depictions of Richard III.
