Doos behorend bij een dukaat van goud afkomstig van het wrak van de Oost-Indiëvaarder 't Vliegend Hart 1900 - 1995

This small, dark blue box, part of a collection at the Rijksmuseum, once held a gold ducat from the wreckage of the East India Company ship 't Vliegend Hart. The box, dating from between 1900 and 1995, is a simple but significant object, serving as a reminder of a historical shipwreck and the value placed on such artifacts. The anonymous artist's craftsmanship highlights the enduring nature of material objects, even as the circumstances surrounding their creation may fade into the past.
