Gift of Regina Maria Bekker-Zeef. Presented to the ACM by the City of Delft, Netherlands.
This stack of four decorated boxes would have been part of a marriage gift. Afterwards, the couple would use it to store clothes, jewellery, and other precious objects. It has scrolling designs made from shells, and is lined with highly valued European textiles. The box surely belonged to a wealth family.
