There are a number of chips/cracks/losses to the inlaid mother of pearl pattern along the surface of the cover and front of the box which have been filled with a wax-like material and/or overpainted with a slightly metallic paint (appears to be a compound with mica flecks). The front left corner of the beaded border/band around the raised level on the cover is cracked and loose (pulling away). The key to the lock and tray to the interior are missing.
