This exceptional silver casket with various writing utensils comes from the famous Nuremberg goldsmith Wenzel Jamnitzer, who frequently worked for the house of Hapsburg. It is lavishly adorned with casts from small animals, shells, and plants. Archduke Ferdinand II particularly treasured this technique, distinguished by its astonishing closeness to nature.
