-SOLD- A Swedish “Svepask” Box with Horse Head Motifs

This “Svepask” or sweep around box is in its original blue paint with white and salmon decoration. The lid is adorned with four horse heads, which could be a reference to the “Dalahäst” or Dala Horse of Sweden, a popular carved toy from the Darlana region. A clever hidden opening mechanism is used, and almost makes opening a puzzle to decipher! The bottom is signed, and the box is dated circa 1870.
