Box in the form of two books, with compartment and mirror
Not on view
Box with two sliding lids, operating in opposing directions. The front cover lid of the top book slides down to reveal a mirror, with the back lid opening upward to an empty compartment. Both covers are decorated with fine chip-carved designs, each with different corner and central roundel motifs.. -- description by Mindell Dubansky in consultation with Lynn Heckman.
