195. SAILOR MADE NANTUCKET PIERCED PANBONE OVAL COVERED
BOX, mid-19th Century, mahogany top with an interlocking circle panbone band on a
conforming box of a single piece of bone having arches, diamonds, triangles, half rounds,
spikes and interlocking circles. Note: the base was never riveted to the box as is with all
the other baskets and boxes of this style. The elaborate carved rim, which is concealed
when covered, leads us to believe this was designed for multi-purpose use.
Height 4 ½ in. x 10 ¼ in. x 7 in.

wrapped with a single piece of panbone, carved with two rows of interlocking circles and
