Ottoman octagonal box
Turkey, 19th century
Resting on feet, made of wood covered with differently coloured bovine bone tesserae arranged to form rhomboidal pattern decorations on each side of the box and square on the domed top ending in a spherical knob. The use of octagonal boxes dates back to the Byzantine period and was revived in the Ottoman era with the main function of containing religious objects including: the Holy Qur'an (for an example see Turkish and Islamic art Museum Istanbul, Acc. no. 2, 3) or containers of relics (as an example see inv. no. 21/391, in H. Aydin, Hýrka-i Saadet Dairesi ve Mukaddes Emanetler, Kaynak, Istanbul, 2004, p. 108)
19 X 30 cm
