The sides of this casket are decorated with figures, three at either end and four pairs in the centre, and on each corner, a figure bearing a shield and a club. On the lid there are images of flying angels holding globes.\r\nIt appears to have originally been a marriage casket. \nTogether with a number of other small caskets in the collection, this one is representative of a very numerous type which is hard to place in a particular workshop. The layout and compositions used on such caskets seem to have been developed in Baldassare Ubriachi's workshop, although it would seem unwise to attribute the whole group to that source; despite generic similarities, there is a wide variety of styles observable. ","physicalDescription":"Rectangular casket and cover of wood, overlaid with bone plaques carved with groups of standing figures, which were originally painted; round the cover are similar plaques of flying angels, two holding balls, and two a scroll. The casket is further decorated with inliad (intarsia) bands of plain and green tinted bone.\nThe lid is attached with modern hinges and is decorated with intarsia patterns in bone, horn and wood.
