BRISTOL, N.H. (UPI) -- Police in New Hampshire sought out the owners of a mysterious ornate box after it was found near a local road.

Bristol police department shared a photo of the large box to Facebook as they attempted to find its rightful owner.

"We located this box, if it is yours or you have any information about this please contact the Police Department," they wrote.

The large, wooden box with a gold-colored metallic overlay had been unclaimed in police possession for over two weeks after a passerby saw it on the side of the road.

"It's fairly large, has a lot of emblems on it. It looks ancient, but I don't believe it's that old," Officer Nicholas Kelley told WMUR.

 

It measured about two feet wide but only contained a red bow, some lint and a "Made in England" label when it was found.

Police are unsure of the box's origins, but believe it could have been abandoned as part of a crime.

"We believe it may have been burglarized from a home, and the people haven't come up yet and hopefully people will see it and know it's theirs," Kelley said.
