This is a bento box made in Scandinavia. It is relatively small and seems to have originally been made as a lunch box for children. In Sweden, Scandinavia, these small boxes with lids are called ÄSKA or ``Svepask'', which means ``bent box'', and are traditionally handmade by woodworkers. I think this was made in the early 20th century based on its texture and form.

Esca are still being made today, but most of them are conical and have no protrusions, and you rarely see ones with boat-shaped lids these days. It has a structure called ``Magewappa'' made of bent thin wood, and the parts where the rings overlap are sewn with tree roots. The top lid can be separated by pulling the claws on both sides outward, and was used to hold snacks such as sandwiches or small items. Sweden is engraved on the back, and although some of the letters are faded, there are words that mean "When the light shines, good things will happen."

■Detailed specifications Year: Early 20th century (estimated)
Country of Manufacture: Sweden Condition: For some reason There is a vertical crack running through the top lid. There is no problem with use, but since it is old, weathering over time can be seen throughout. Since the box is originally thin, it can be used for applications that require little load, such as storing small items.
