Caja de especias — Historia y Análisis

El comercio de especias fue el objetivo más importante de los viajes a Asia. La pimienta, la nuez moscada, el macis y la canela eran mercancías muy costosas. En consecuencia, se ofrecían en la mesa de manera opulenta.

Esta caja de especias tiene la forma de la Mauricio, uno de los barcos que ya había navegado a Asia antes de que se fundara la VOC. Su tapa (la cubierta) oculta pequeños compartimentos para diferentes especias.
