Description

This is a photograph of an ornate, wooden box with a painting of a girl on the lid. The inner lining is made of red fabric, and there is a bit of damage on the outside. A key is inside the box, and the box has a metal latch. The box belonged to Inger Marie Svergaard Carlsen, and Janet Fenton used to play with it as a child when she was at her grandparent's house.
