Description & Technical information
Indo-Portuguese, 226,0 g. Small rectangular trunk shaped casket of scroll and openwork design, that can confidently be attributed to a 17th century Goan master craftsman production. The dense decorative scheme covers the entirety of the case, consisting of juxtaposed rectangular plaques, each filled by a four-petalled flower, and outlined by double thread, curved zigzagging bands. The handles are designed as two large inverted and juxtaposed commas, in the Mughal taste, suspended from a hollowed ring. The casket stands on four rounded feet, each formed by superimposed rounded corollae
