This is the lid to a tooled leather box that I made about 40 years ago.

Beautiful. 40 years ago.....what was the "medicinal" influence?
No medicinal influence, I had a custom leather shop in downtown Tacoma when I was in my mid 20s and spent hours every day tooling designs in belts, purses, wallets etc. I made many pairs of sandals when I had that shop also. I bought the equipment from a shoe repair shop that had a fire and had closed. All the equipment was undamaged and worked well.
After I gave up on the shop I began making jewelry in gold and silver and selling the work at art and craft shows.

Beautiful work and nice capture of the details in download! 
Thanks, I laid the top of the box on a slab of multi-colored shale, snapped the shot and cropped it and saturated the colors quite a bit in a free photo editing site.

Thank you all so much. Handcrafting in any medium is very satisfying but I never had much luck when it came to pottery. Ever time I tried to "throw a pot" it ended up on the floor or on me !
