Melandri Box (Favors)
A biconvex lenticular-bodied box with a continuous profile like a smooth pebble, with a surface characterized externally by a textured, slightly granular enamel in warm ochre tones with turquoise speckles and internally by a glossy coppery-brown enamel.
The lid is decorated with a stylized fantastic bird figure from whose beak hangs an element distinct from the animal's morphology, suggesting the iconography of the stork and the theme of birth.
