The Writing Casket by Severo da Ravenna is a rectangular, dark-colored metal box with a lid. The box has a flat, rectangular base and four legs; two are shaped like human figures. The legs are positioned at the corners of the box, with the human-shaped legs at the front. The box features intricate designs and patterns etched into its surface. The lid is triangular in shape with a small, gold-colored pinecone-shaped finial on top. The background of the image is a gradient of dark to light gray.
