| | Box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Costly gold boxes were often enriched with enamels or set with diamonds or other precious stones, and sometimes the lid was adorned with a portrait, a classical vignette, or a tiny portrait miniature, often some choice work by an old master. |
 | | A box normally may be opened by raising, sliding or removing the lid, which may be hinged and/or fastened by a catch, hasp, or lock. |
 | | In Colonial America the Bible box was built of wood, specifically as a container for a bible, but it often had dual use as a portable desk. |
