Bible box c. 18th century

This anonymous 18th-century "Bible box" is a rectangular wooden chest carved with geometric and floral patterns. The intricately carved design likely served as a devotional object, perhaps to hold sacred texts. The initials "F.R" on the front add to its historical significance. The wood box, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, is a testament to the craftsmanship and piety of its time.
