An Italian front of a cassone or marriage chest that is made of painted and gilded poplar, pine, and walnut. The center front of the cassone has the Orsini Family arms carved and painted on it. The cener arms depict a light-skinned figure in profile holding a banner in one hand and a gold and orange shield in the other. They are wearing a blue skirt with a cream skirt, and are behind a shield that consists of a red flower and a green snake stacked about four diagonal red lines. Plumes of foliage extend out from the shield. There are two portraits on our left and right. On the left there is a light-skinned man wearing a red hat and red shirt. His hair is brown. There is a light-skinned woman on our right, who wears a necklace and has brown hair that is in a bun. On her head there is also a small headband. Each portrait is surrounded with a vine wreath and rope. These panels are separated by four columns.  Each column is decorated with vines and urns. There is a large rectangular panel across the bottom that depicts urns, leaf swags and bunches of grapes.
