Title |
Pen and Ink Box |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: This box once contained a pen and, in the lower compartment, a wad of wool soaked with ink. It was carried on the owner's belt and must have belonged to a statesman, since its side is inscribed with the maxim: "Your government shall rise without declining, if it has as its basis the largest number of people from every place." Hunt imagery, like the scenes on the box, was popular among the nobility as this sport required the valor and skills also needed in battle. |
