A richly decorated with stylized ornaments (flowers?) and abstract patterns cassettte with lid and hinge. The number 4, often found in the rosettes in relief, symbolizes the cardinal points, times of day, the 4-day week common in southern Nigeria at the time, and the god Olokun. It testifies to the high status of the owner. Text: Dietmar Neitzke.
