Reference: Z2330

Cylindrical “turner's test” box, 17th-18th century. Cylindrical box decorated with different bands and lid with a carved star. The base presents a series of inscriptions that allude to the purpose for which it was created: these types of pieces were tests of mastery of turner apprentices, which they had to take to pass certain exams within the guild to which they belonged. Not many of these works are preserved because they are more practical than decorative and not commissioned by a client, but their interest is undeniable for this very reason.
