"Bible Box" is a watercolor on paper painting created by Alfred Koehn in 1938. It depicts a simple, wooden box with a hinged lid and a small drawer, typical of early American furniture. Koehn's meticulous detail and realistic style highlight the craftsmanship and functionality of the box, which would have been used to store religious texts. The piece serves as a documentation of American folk art and the historical use of everyday objects.
