Silver snuffbox in the shape of a suitcase with a carved biblical representation of Abraham's sacrifice on the top and Abraham's sending away of Hagar and Ishmael on the bottom.
The box has no master stamp, but it is possible that the box was made by Cornelis van Hoek (1786-1811) or Dirk Goedhart (1782-1811), who are known for similar suitcase boxes.
The snuffbox is provided with the city mark of Amsterdam with the year letter X for 1806. The snuffbox is also marked with the crowned ET (Étranger=foreign), the import and excise mark of the French empire, used in 1809-1819, used in present-day Belgium, the Netherlands and other areas occupied by France. In addition, marked with the crowned O. (Dutch tax-free mark 1807)
The front features the engraved initials M J.
The box is in excellent condition.
