Need better pics,, all 4 sides, top and bottom !! And a close up of the inlay,, although most that are made in this manner are inlaid with bone rather than mother of pearl !!

Where are you located ?? Looks like a folk art type !!  Nothing really stands out on it !!  I would call it primitive !!  Does appear to be hand made and inlaid !!  Could be mother of pearl or something else,,, hard to tell !!

The side of the box is approximately 21" high x 7 1/2" wide. I also added more pictures. Thanks for the info
