The Franks Casket [all]

Posted by mdrout on 15th February 2008

The Franks Casket is a whalebone box carved with scenes from both biblical history and Germanic mythology.  The front and right side includes runic inscriptions in alliterative verse.

The Franks Casket has nothing to do with the Germanic people the Franks, but is instead named after the donor, Sir Augustus Wollaston Franks.
