Shepherd box. Carved horn. Spain, 1822.
Rectangular box made of carved horn that has a date (1822) engraved on the lid and front, a legend (Soi de Manuel Zulueta year 1822) and an engraved decoration based on geometric, vegetal, figurative and heraldic elements. The base of the piece features a band frame that enhances a composition of birds and animals accompanied by simple stems and flowers. The lid has bands intertwined with circles of different sizes and, in the center, a heraldic shield crowned and flanked by two flags, and quartered with castles with three towers and crowned rampant lions; under this central element, the aforementioned date is found again. Note that it differs from the shield of Castile (the one used by the kings of Castile since 1230) in the position that the different elements occupy in the barracks.
Size: 8 x 5 x 2 cm.
