This painted decorated oval box known in Sweden as “Svepask,” is made of a single piece of wood that was steamed, pressed into an oval shape, and hinged together with bindings made of root. A box such as this was often given as a betrothal gift and was traditionally decorated with flowers. It retains the original hinge and handles.
