About this work

This small casket is faced with costly ebony and ornamented with silver plates. Engraved on them are four classical gods representing the Four Seasons. A little mirror is fixed inside the lid. The front of the case can fold out, revealing three drawers in which valuables such as jewellery could be kept.
