Summary
Two rectangular pieces of softwood, evidence of leather hinges attached by metal tacks down one side of each piece suggesting both pieces were joined together. On the inside of one piece is a long piece of cloth attached to wood with leather strips tacked down each side and along one end. Possibly for holding brushes?

Stamford collection; devised to the National Trust by Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford (1896-1976).
