Pair of vintage decorative keepsake boxes. The first is a small, footed Mexican copper box with a domed lid, featuring an etched Aztec style motif and a natural verdigris patina. The interior is lined with wood and the box retains a rich, aged surface texture. The second box is a hand carved wooden piece from Ecuador, marked on the underside, with geometric and stylized figural designs including a prominent Inca inspired figure on the lid and serpentine hands along the sides. Both boxes function as storage or display pieces. The copper box shows oxidation and wear consistent with age and use, including patina and light wear on the feet.
