            Painted Casket

Hunting wild asses, ostriches etc

 

Actual size = 6 ¼ x 19 ½ to edge of 

chequer border. Burton’s photo 

from which the painting is drawn 

= 6” x 19”. There is a slight 

distortion top and bottom & on both sides

since the cover is vaulted & this 

rather affects the legs of the animals 

at the base. The top has been 

corrected as there was space.

 

The lid has both ends above the King 

as a sphinx decorated similarly.

The knob corresponding to the one 

below is also missing here.
