The lid in turns slides sideways and there is another motto ''Now find my brother''. The smaller coffin has brass carrying handles, one of which if you pull hard enough pulls out to reveal a carved skeleton.The base lid swings out, presumably where you could store a small amount of snuff.Finely crafted with a coffin-shaped form, the box reflects the period’s interest in mortality, remembrance, and personal memento objects. The interactive puzzle element adds both charm and collectability, making it an exceptional piece for collectors of folk art, antique boxes, and historical curiosities....
