Money Box still bank c. mid to late 19th century

This anonymous, mid-19th-century "Money Box still bank" is a simple, yet elegantly crafted wooden box. Made from rich mahogany, it stands on a stepped base and is adorned with a small slot at the top for depositing money. The box is a testament to the artistry and practicality of the era, representing a common household item that served a dual purpose: collecting savings and showcasing craftsmanship. The box is a fine example of decorative arts and continues to be displayed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art today.
