Jewellery box ➔ Coroa.
Identifier:
MusA-314Description
This jewellery box is a handmade piece, made of wood, veneered in bird´s eye and edged with beech wood, with a handle made of holy wood. The author called it "Coroa" (Crown), due to the shape of the handle on the lid.Geometrically, it consists of two parts, the storage compartment and the lid. Together they form a (hollow) cylinder, whose upper base, with a small recess, corresponds to the lid. When the jewellery box is opened, the lid separates completely from the compartment. The handle on the lid is shaped as a circular crown supported by four pins (small cylinders).
The utilitarian part of this jewellery box is the inside of the piece, which is also cylindrical in shape.

Este guarda-joias foi construído na década dos anos 80, do século 20, com madeiras nobres, folheada a olho-de-perdiz e orlada a madeira de faia, com uma pega em coroa circular de pau-santo. Devido à sua beleza e arte aplicada, o autor designou-a por "Coroa". A peça é essencialmente decorativa, no entanto, o seu cariz é utilitário, servindo portanto, como guarda-joias. O guarda-joias "Coroa" faz parte integrante da coleção dos 81 guarda-joias, doada à Universidade de Aveiro pelo Sr. Eng.º Joaquim Domingos Capela em Dezembro de 2013.Languages
