Cassone Frontal

Cleveland Museum of Art

Dark brown rectangular wooden panel with raised carved designs. The panel has a flat top with a row of small round protrusions around the edge. The carvings depict several scenes. On the left, a muscular man with a beard and helmet appears to be fighting or wrestling with another figure. Next to them, a group of people, some with helmets and weapons, are gathered around a large object. In the center, a cherub or putto stands next to a large ornate vase or urn with a leafy design. On the right, another cherub or putto is depicted, followed by a scene of a person on horseback and several people with weapons. The panel sits on a table with a white cloth underneath. The table has a dark brown wooden frame and a red fabric surface. The background shows a room with white walls and various objects on a shelf or table. A person's hand is visible in the top right corner. Cassone Frontal by Master of the Cassone.
