This painting by Peter Cramer is rich in detail, dear #histodons - peppercakes, street selling activities in an early modern European urban setting, broadsheets glued to a wall, etc. 

But what on earth is the highlighted child transporting on its shoulders? A wooden box full of what? Your help is appreciated! @736e58a2
