13 cms diameter.





















Mayflower say "Set within the box are four finely engraved silver gilt plaques of a much earlier date c.1580 and probably Nuremburg; these plaques depict stories from Noah’s ark and with some subtle variations are based on woodcuts by the Swiss born artist Jost Amman. Jost Amman moved to Nuremburg in 1560 and lived and worked there until his death in 1591".

I have previously posted on this fabulous casket.
