The detail on this magnificently carved box is so fine, notice the pillars, the stairs leading to the building , the texture to the grasses and foliage. The carved detail on the putti and the dog are exquisite and delicate. The putti has a lovely face, the dog has much detail, even the dogs leash shows every twist in the rope.
