Casket

Wooden casket – a cuboidal, decorative box, with a clearly rounded lid, made at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries as a small, practical desk trinket. Its form is stylized as a travel trunk. The side walls and the lid are decorated with narrow, horizontal rungs with a half-shaft profile, polychrome in black. On the back of the lid there is a long slot. The base is covered with dark green cloth. Inside the casket there is a lining made of light red velvet. There is a single hinged lid on a brass belt attached to the long edge of the box. It has a brass lock, with a keyway on top, with a metal, oval, painted black plaque on the front wall.
