Antique Wooden Beehive Bank

19th-century wooden beehive-shaped container, likely a coin bank or a string holder. It is made of carved wood with horizontal banding to resemble a traditional skep beehive. The item appears to have a slot for coins, suggesting it is a bank. Similar items from the 19th century are often referred to as "treenware". Some variations of this design were used as string holders, with the twine pulled through a central opening.
