Case of gilt brass Movement of iron Workshop of Johann Reinhold the Elder (ca. 1550-1596) German (augsburg), late 16th century The sides of the case display examples of the popular plaquettes of the Drunkenness of Noah and Abraham and the Three Angels by Peter Flötner (ca. 1485-1546). Two of the plaquettes are pierced, permitting the sound of a bell striking the hours inside the case to be audible. The hand and the chapter ring are replacements, probably made in the late seventeenth century. (29.52.4)
