About this work

Chest of wood, on the outside covered with brown leather with vine ornaments on a punched ground on the lid and sides and at the bottom an Andries cross with half quatrefoils. On the chest silver bands are attached, which end in lilies. The three middle ones on the lid also serve as handles, which is why the lid hinges. On the front a catch and a flat lock plate. The handle of the lid bears the inscription: GEDENKET. It is attached to the letters T (te?) and S (sterven?). The inside is lined with red-colored linen.
