The tradition of using carved semi-precious stones for decorative snuff-boxes was established in Dresden in the 16th century.⠀
.⠀
The abundance of rich natural mineral deposits around Saxony accounts for the high number of beautifully carved lions, dogs, deer and even fruit that were fashioned from the various stones found there.⠀
