It's a powder compact used by every single lady in the 20s to 80s. You can still buy them now but hardly ever used. I've got 4 posted at the moment. Neil
Hi - Welcome to CW,
Such a pretty art nouveau'ish powder compact you dug up! How far down was it?
Here's a CW article about powder compacts - you can see the variation in designs and materials, with the period they were made.

Powder compacts are still in use today, take a look around the cosmetic section of any well known store and you'll find many of them. Unfortunately, most of them are plastic - and mass produced.
