A wrought iron domed-top casket.
Height 6⅞" (17.5cm).

This casket is very similar to one that belonged to A.W.N. Pugin and which is now in the Victoria & Albert Museum.(1) Pugin had inherited this casket from his father, A. C. Pugin, and it was illustrated amongst a group of objects from the elder Pugin’s collection by N. X. Willemin.(2).
