This is an unusual fruitwood  c19th puzzle snuff box in the shape of a boat, with a carved figurehead at the front of the boat of a women. Underneath the women is a carved crescent shape, possibly a horseshoe - symbolising good luck.
The lid swings sideways and then the bottom section of the lid pulls down and then swings sideways to access the contents.
There is an initial S on the base maybe the makers mark.
The snuff box measures 14.8cm l x 3.5cm w x 7.2cm h.
