Panel from a Casket with Scenes from Courtly Romances

Rectangular ivory panel with raised relief carvings. The panel consists of four main scenes divided by columns. The left scene shows a man in a long robe and fishnet stockings climbing stairs to a castle wall; a figure peers over the wall. The second scene shows a man in armor holding a sword and shield; he grasps a lion by the mane. The third scene depicts a man climbing into a curtained bed; a woman in a long dress and fishnet stockings stands beside him. The right scene shows a castle wall with a man entering through a door; five heads peek out from above the wall; a bell and a ball hang on the wall. The panel has rounded corners and holes around the edge, possibly for attachment. The carvings are intricate and detailed, with textures such as brick patterns on the castle walls and foliage on the trees. The color is a uniform light beige.
