Shepherd's box. Carved horn. Spain, 1822. Rectangular box made of carved horn that has a date (1822) engraved on the lid and front, a legend (I am from Manuel Zulueta year of 1822) and an engraved decoration based on geometric, vegetal, figurative and heraldic elements. The base of the piece features a banded frame that highlights a composition of birds and animals accompanied by simple stems and flowers. The lid has interlaced bands with circles of varying sizes and, in the center, a crowned heraldic shield flanked by two flags, quartered with three-towered castles and crowned rampant lions; below this central element, the aforementioned date appears again. Note that it differs from the coat of arms of Castile (the one used by the kings of Castile from 1230) in the position of the different elements within the quartering.
