Front with depictions of a falconer and a courtly lady with a book carved from bone. Gothic characters in the centre: "per : ve avgr e"
Provenance
The Minnekästchen was returned from the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin in 1958 (as a return from the SU) together with other artefacts from the Historisches Museum Dresden. As things stand at present, the object is not part of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden holdings and its provenance or affiliation to the collection has not yet been clarified.
