Beautifully Worn Old Leather Box five-drawers though I don't really know

The body and head are carved of one piece

The dog appears to be leaping toward a ball or globe

with a diameter of 2 3/4" across at lid and 1 7/8" across at base

Beautifully Worn Old Leather Box five-drawers though I don't really knowThis old box would feel right at home in a library or study filled with old books, leather club chairs and maybe a fireplace ( wafting cigar smoke, too!)
