I mitered the edges at 45 degrees. Joined the pieces together with some slip ("glue"). Put a roll of clay in the corner to fill any gaps. Smoothed out the corner roll of clay. Used a trisquare to make sure everything was lined up. Box is ready to set up a little more and clean up. Haven't decided exactly what to do with the sides, may go for a tapa pattern. Then carve and/or sculpt the lid. Want to include a spider and then a Tiki, palms, a hut? Note to self, wet dimensions of the lid need to be 8x14 cm. With those dimensions I can make a new lid if I screw up the original.
