Medieval-style jewel casket belonging to Jane
1859, wood bound with studded iron bands

The Pre-Raphaelite design of this casket is typical of the work of Philip
Webb. The panels were painted by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his wife
Lizzie Siddal. At least one of the paintings appears to have been copied
from a fifteenth-century manuscript. The casket belonged to Jane Burden,
William Morris’s wife, and was possibly given on her marriage in 1859.
