[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9567290, member: 2844"]Gorgeous box, chris. The motifs look Dutch Frisian to me. In fact if I were to see this box here in the Netherlands I would think it was Frisian. Of course Frisian boxes can end up anywhere, just like most things. Btw, according to some sources the term "bible box" is a 19th century one. This is a Frisian box that was sold a few years ago: [ATTACH=full]459049[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/26712399-antique-chest-with-frisian-manual-carving-nut[/URL] And this is a small Frisian tea caddy or valuables box I have just put a bid on: [ATTACH=full]459050[/ATTACH] I am not too happy about the warped lid, but I love the carving and dark staining.[/QUOTE]
