A rare antique Victorian brass gothic, medieval, church, religious casket
Here is a superbly detailed antique Victorian brass gothic casket depicting medieval style scenes on all sides and the lid. The scenes seem to depict the life of Christ, those on the lid seem to show the nativity. Each of the sides have a different scene and there are what appear to be two knights jousting, other fighting on horseback, a courting couple and other figures. The interior of the casket is lined at the base with wood. It is not espcially heavy for its size and so ideal for posting overseas more economically. The inside of the lid and underside of the casket seem to have a bronze coloured patinationl. There are various versions of these caskets, and this is a very good one. The casting is quite crisp and it has the right amount of patina. There is no tab to the lid now, although there is a faux lock plate. The hinges are sound and strong. The box is a larger size than many, measuring 8.7 inches (15 cm) long, 3 inches (7.5 cm) high and 4.5 inches (11.6 cm) wide.
