Pen Box with Dervish Seated in a Woodland

Cover and sliding compartment with rounded ends. The top is decorated in vertical format with a youthful dervish seated on the ground. He wears a roughly textured brown cloak and holds a staff in one hand; his begging bowl hangs from a nearby tree branch. A small deer and a broken tree trunk occupy the foreground, while large trees and small buildings fill the background. The sides are painted with a continuous wooded landscape with miscellaneous buildings and small figures engaged in hunting and agricultural activities. On the base, a flowering vine with grapes is painted in gold on a red background.
