Caixa de especiarias — História e Análise

O comércio de especiarias era o objetivo mais importante das viagens à Ásia. Pimenta, noz-moscada, macis e canela eram mercadorias muito caras. Assim, eram oferecidas à mesa de forma opulenta.

Esta caixa de especiarias tem a forma do Mauritius, um dos navios que já havia navegado para a Ásia antes da fundação da VOC. Sua tampa (o convés) oculta pequenos compartimentos para diferentes especiarias.
