[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1021087, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous, Phk. I'm with James, classic Frisian 'kerfsneewerk'. Here I am, woken up by your call.:yawn::playful: It is unusual, you see it occasionally on strongboxes for valuables and important documents, hence the (missing) lock. Dutch and Frisian bible boxes have flat lids. The domed lid is usually seen on money chests and boxes for valuables. Bible boxes are not nearly as common here as in many other countries btw. Frisian kerfsneewerk used to be made in the northern Frisian regions, from the north of the Netherlands eastwards along the German North Sea coast to the Danish border. So German Frisian is possible. The Dutch Frisians have kept the tradition and are still carving today. The price here in the Netherlands would be about the same as in the US.[/QUOTE]
