This casket belongs to the Treasure of the Palatine Chapel. It is made of wood with ivory and black mastic, and is one of its kind. The shape — a rectangle with the shorter sides ending in semicircles — is rather uncommon and the sheer wealth and type of decorations make this artefact a veritable rarity.
