拍品專文

Although stamped and gilt-leather leather boxes of this type are normally described as 'Flemish, end of the sixteenth century' (Gall, op. cit. p.234), the costumes of the figures, the crowded composition and clear parallels in bookbinding all point to a date in the early seventeenth century, and to Friesland as the most likely place of manufacture. J. Storm van Leeuwen suggests that such caskets were most probably made in the ateliers of bookbinders, judging by the similarities in the stamps and tools (J. Storm van Leeuwen, loc. cit.).
