Doosje, rond met deksel en een brede basis en opstaande rand c. 1590 - 1596

This small, round wooden box, or "doosje", dating back to the late 16th century, is a simple yet striking example of everyday Dutch craftsmanship. The box is crafted from wood and features a lid that fits snugly over the base. The object's modest size and unassuming design, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, suggests it was likely used for storing small items such as jewelry or other personal belongings. The box's utilitarian nature and simple construction speak to the practical needs of the time.
