A box made from wood. The sides and bottom are joined to the end pieces by small wooden pegs inserted through drilled holes. The end pieces have been carved to produce a slight outward curvature. There is no top with this box, although grooves cut into the upper edges of the side pieces for holding a top indicate that it once had one, and there is remnant of a hide thong for securing a lid in a hole drilled through one of the side pieces.This item is identified in the Smithsonian Institution's catalogue as a packing box.
