Elizabeth I inlaid box

Elizabeth I inlaid and carved oak box, the lower section with a single drawer carved with nulled decoration and applied fluted columns, above this two inlaid panels of floral designs with similar designs to each side. The oak lid open to reveal a lined interior with decoration of the order of the garter printed paper, and on the underside of the lid an inventory label from the early 17th century listing the contents. A similar example in the Met Museum www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/203878 once the property of Erwin Untermyer, and most certainly made by the same hand. And another box by the same hand in the Plimoth Museum, MA
