Antique Deeply Carved Mother of Pearl Snuff Box with Gold Mounts - 3" Long

Description

Here's an antique deeply carved Mother of Pearl snuff box with gold tone mounts.  The top panel depicts two roman type soldiers where one lady is kneeling at their feet.  The front panel depicts a soldier on horse back with their tents in the background.  The first side panel depicts a soldier sleeping with tents in the background.  The back panel depicts a soldier on horseback and another soldier with a spear.  The other side panel depicts a soldier with a sword.  The bottom is also decorated with a soldier at rest.  The mounts are gold toned and have some green corrosion areas.
The snuff box measures 3 inches
long, almost 2 inches wide and about 1½ tall
.  It weighs 3.67 ounces before packaging.
This piece is in good condition, but has some corrosion of the mounts which I have not tried to clean.  The MOP panels are all in excellent condition.  Please review pictures.
It is not marked.
