Shepherd's box. Carved horn. 1811. With engraved date. A carved horn box with an oval base and a polygonal lid decorated on the exterior with a series of carvings. The lid features animals, scrolls, and simple geometric elements arranged flanking and facing a crowned heraldic shield. The base has a geometric composition with a rectangle in the center (where the date 1811, presumably the piece's creation, is engraved). The edges of the base are finished with fine, smooth moldings. The aforementioned shield, highly simplified, features five elements in the center and a border of towers or castles beneath a closed crown.
