assuming 1.5"x4" Octagon box and 14 AWG.
15.5 cubic inches / 2 Cu.In. = 7 14 AWG.

314.16.

4 - 2/C NM = 4x2 = 8 x 2Cu.In. = 16 Cu.In.

4 EGC's = 1 EGC = 2 Cu In.

4 Connectors = 1 connector = 2 Cu.In.

Total Cu.In. = 20 Cu. In..

Box is 4.5 C.In too small.

Plus 250.148(A).

Also looks as though some bare Ungrounded conductor exposed at the wirenut, possible 110.7.

Question 334.24.

Appears box was secured to the wood or maybe just a shadow over the bottom hole of the back of box.
