Condition: There is wear and losses to the gilt finished decorative bands at the borders with wear to the polychrome finished decoration throughout commensurate with age and handling. The gilt finish on the metallic mounts can be seen with some dings and wear to the finish also commensurate with age and handling.

Despite wear the casket presents very well overall.
