Engraved seventeenth century silver casket

Description

Engraved small silver casket, unmarked probably German ca 1660-80. The domed lid is engraved with a heart pierced with an arrow, which suggests the casket was a marriage gift. The casket was gilt but most of the gilding has worned off, except for the inside where it is in faded but good condition.
