Description: | Bibles were valuable items in a Stuart (1603-1689) household. They would be locked in a bible box like this one for safekeeping. When open, the lid was used as a support for reading and writing, with useful wooden drawers inside. The box is carved with a Tudor rose and the initials 'AH' and dated '1684'. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion living in the North East home life | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
