    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    Round box made of Amboina burl wood, with the lid decorated with a grisaille-camaieu miniature signed by J. Lalande depicting the myth of the abduction of Europa* by Zeus, who had transformed himself into a bull; 19th-century.
    This box is in good condition and of superb quality.
    Please note: a few slight scratches, minimal soiling, and signs of age; see photos.
    * According to one version of the myth, Europa, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre, a city in Phoenicia (present-day Lebanon), had a dream. That very day, Zeus met her on a beach in Sidon, transformed himself into a white bull so he could approach her without frightening her and to escape the jealousy of his wife, Hera. Europa approached him. Riding the animal, she was carried off to the island of Crete, to Gortyn. In Gortyn, under a plane tree—which has remained evergreen ever since—Europa mated with Zeus, this time in human form. From their union were born Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Sarpedon, who went into exile in Miletus, Anatolia. Later, Zeus gave Europa in marriage to the king of Crete, Asterion.
