Box
Only a small minority of seventeenth-century boxes were decorated with applied ornament rather than carving. The decorative elements on this box are related to an unidentified school of craftsmanship that was active in northern Essex County during the 1680s and 1690s. The box bears the initials “SP”— presumably those of its first owner.
