Some of this eclessiastical wooden caskets were found in the area of Cantabria but the existance of one in the Pedralbes, Monastry dated in Catalan, in 1607, gives us a wider vision of their production area. Some of them were donated to churches as the names of the donators are often shown on the outside of the pieces.
