The primary item is a 1950s Italian Lucite trinket box. It features a dark, ridged body, likely an early plastic, topped with a clear plastic or lucite ring. The lid showcases an oval image of a woman in period attire, possibly a print on fabric or paper, set under a clear covering and framed by a red border. Accompanying this is a smaller, circular metallic box, likely brass or a similar alloy, with a clear top revealing a textured, amber-colored interior containing two delicate, preserved butterfly wings. Neither item displays any discernible text or manufacturer’s markings.
