19th century Silver Cigarrito

An early 19th century repousse silver cigarette or small cigar box. I believe this to be from Mexico as I did find an article in an old Artes magazine that featured a gold “cigarrito” box, similar in every respect except in gold. The repousse decoration is naïve, detailed and charming. The box has a very old mark that shows a lion and what looks like “DENART, 925.”
