This is a very lovely folk craft from Argentina. It's called an alpaca. According to the dictionary, al·pa·ca German silver; nickel silver: an alloy of copper, zinc, and nickel. That's what it says. The lid has glass in it. The whole thing is made of wood. The size is: 295 x 157 x 82 mm I really like it, but I don't have space for it, so I'm putting it up for sale. Thank you very much!
