nonasuch: jkthinkythoughts:fashionsfromhistory:Snuffboxc.1740FranceMFA Boston I have never in my life seen an objet d'art that qualified for the Tiffany Paradox, but here we are. It looks like it fell off a middle school girls bedroom desk circa 1987. I love this.also I went and looked it up on the MFA website and as I suspected, it’s made of mother-of-pearl! the rainbow parts are probably from iridescent blacklip shells, and the rest is carved white oyster shell. -- source link
