The rich interior contrasts with the sobriety of the exterior,
The rich, hunting-themed interior features many fine details, such as foliage and animals: hares, foxes, wolves, squirrels, weasels, against a background of landscapes, castles and villages. Three hunters and or pickers complete this "rich" décor.
Lorenz Stoer's book "GEOMETRIA ET PERSPECTIVA", published in 1567, provides the inspiration that "helped" the craftsman create the cabinet shown here.
This is a "rare" document with its original lock and key.
