The Writing Casket by Severo da Ravenna is a rectangular, dark-colored object with a flat top and a carved front panel. The object has four legs shaped like animal paws. The front panel features intricate carvings. There are two handles on either side, each consisting of a human figure; both faces look outward. The background of the image is dark gray, gradually lightening towards the bottom where the object rests on a lighter gray surface.
