Description

Enamel Pill Box: "Come Over and Help Us, Acts XV1m, 9". 18th century 1 1/2' x 2 1/4" pill box featuring an African American man quoting from the book of Acts from the Bible...."And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us." A poignant reminder of the evils of slavery as this man asks for help, and freedom. The piece is beautifully made with rich blue bottom, and a colorful graphic top.

Condition: Mirror cracked, one small hairline at top edge. Overall a fine example of this rare box.
