Fiziksel açıklama
Coffer-front of carved walnut. It is divided into three panels by parallel interlacing straight and curved bands; the centre panel contains an oval filled in with lattice-work, while in the spandrels are star-devices; the side panels each contain a circle amid four smaller circles, the centre compartment and the spandrels being filled in with star-devices. The whole is surrounded by a border of âtongueâ ornament. The back is cut at the upper corners to receive the ends of two small hinged compartments. The keyhole has been filled up.
