專家說明

The medals on the present casket are not related to one another but were probably in the collection of the person who commissioned the casket. On the lid is a lion hunt after Valerio Belli; the others represent Julius Caesar, Virtue Uncovered by Vice after the Pseudo-Fra Antonio da Brescia, Cacus Stealing the Oxen of Hercules after Moderno and an allegorical scene, possibly Bacchus and Ariadne, after the Master IOFF.
