2 B: Ivory Caskets
A group of caskets from 16th century presently located at foreign museums
The earliest references to ivory caskets from Ceylon in the Portuguese royal collection
occur in 1546-48, at which time two are recorded in the inventory of Queen Catherine
(1507-78), wife of Dom Joao III (r.1521-27). She is known to have been interested in
oriental curiosities, going so far as to send two agents to the East (One went to Goa)
exclusively in order to obtain them for her collection. Ivory caskets from Ceylon
featured in the collection assembled by the Queen, and inventories made in the years
1550-54 and 1558 indicate the both possessed and divested her of such objects. After
the 1550s Catherine’s interest in Sinhalese objects subsided and she turned to before
this, she had began to send ivories to members of her family such as her niece Maria of
Parma, the wife of Alessandro Farnese; her niece and daughter-in-law, Joana of Austria;
and her daughter Dona Maria, the wife of Philip II of Spain. The collections of other
rules of the period, which were also related to her, such as the Habsburg princes Philip
II and Rudolf II, Albrecht V of Bavaria and the Tyrolean ruler Ferdinand II, similarly
included Sinhalese ivories. There are six caskets already exhibited in museums in
Europe.
Two caskets place in Kunsthistorisehes Museum, Vienna. Austria
Two caskets place in Residenz, Munich, Schatzkammer. Germany
One casket in Museum Fur Indische Kunst, Berlin .Germany
