Casket with the Triumph of Venus

French

Not on view

Since the Triumph of Venus, the goddess associated with love and beauty, is depicted on the lid, dressing paraphernalia was probably stored inside this casket. Particularly vivid are the interior and the underside, where the straw, protected from dust and light, has retained its original color and lustrous quality.
