This box came from Gloucestershire. It was used to carry food into the fields for the workers. The bottom of the box is made of ash and the lid is made of birch. It is very similar in design to boxes used in Scandinavian countries used for the same purpose. It is finely made and has a scalloped edge on one side where two pieces of wood meet.
