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 various figures, some seemingly carrying crosses. The u=interior of this casket is unlined. This is a very inticately detailed box. One of the end panel (the left hand one, when looking from the front of the box) has been attached upside down (see fourth photograph)! The casket has the right amount of patina, with a polished finish, but not overly so. There is a tab to the lid. The hinges are sound and strong. The box measures about 4.75 inches (12 cm) long, 2.25 inches (5.6 cm) high and 2.9 inches (7.2 cm) wide. Ostal Price Increases to the United States.
