This is a 19th century Scottish burr root snuff box. This Scottish snuff box wonderful is carved from burr root wood from a huge old tree, having a hinged cover. The lid depicts a scene from ‘Tam O''’Shanter.
It measures approx 8cm w x 5.5cm d x 4.5cm h.
Burrs occur on many trees, most commonly at the junction of the trunk with the ground or root.
They are caused by a number of small shoots which are unable to break out, and form an interwoven, contorted but unusually stable mass. They can be very ornamental.
