Scatola di spezie — Storia e analisi

Il commercio delle spezie era l'obiettivo più importante dei viaggi in Asia. Pepe, noce moscata, macis e cannella erano merci molto costose. Di conseguenza, venivano offerte a tavola in modo opulento.

Questa scatola per spezie ha la forma della Mauritius, una delle navi che avevano già navigato verso l'Asia prima della fondazione della VOC. Il suo coperchio (il ponte) nasconde piccoli scomparti per diverse spezie.
