Description

Open wooden box consisting of a bottom that is wider than the sides by half an inch. Sides are wooden boards that are nailed at each corner with two handmade nails. Handles have been created at each end by cutting holes that are oval with a point at the bottom and these sides are taller than the others with a decorative curved shape to them. The interior is divided into two spaces by a board that repeats the decorative features of the end sides, including the cut-out handle space. This center board is pegged to the sides with two wooden dowels per side.
