Foedraal horende bij een riem before 1860

This small, cylindrical box, titled "Foedraal horende bij een riem," was created by Alphonse L.E. Mosselman before 1860. This artwork is an example of a "Foedraal," a container often used for storing small items. The box, crafted from a dark material, likely leather or cardboard, bears a gold inscription that reads "Electro Aromatic Belt Patented Against Sea Sickness." This suggests the box was intended to hold a device, possibly a belt, used to treat seasickness. The box is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, showcasing a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and design.
