The pill box is a detailed miniature replica of a doctor's bag, with its surface embossed to look like leather and embellished with 18 k gold used to represent the suitcase hardware and handle. Absolutely incredibly detailed workmanship, the handle even moves! Although Bartosik was born in England of Czech and Dutch parents, he lived in Czechoslovakia from 1946 to 1967.
