Very interesting! I'm not sure what to say..... while it won't help 'find the other chest'....it's so amazing to know there is another chest out there..(and possibly even more)

Sounds like a certain somebody may have gotten bamboozled buying a bronze treasure chest for $25,000. Well, Forrest *did* say he paid too much for it! ;-)

. On another forum, muset pointed out that 5he Victorians liked to make plaster-cast replicas. Also, the jstor archaelogy magazine article does put the Indulgence type chest back to the Middle Ages. Credit John Brown for the link www.jstor.org/stable/497460?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contentsKind of amazing that Indulgence’s cousin wasnt found earlier in the hunt, given the amount if searchers into research. Whats inside that chest  ? Is it wood lined? |

But what makes me brave opening the TC To explore the unexplored. |

Never know the treasures one can find......out there; but I imagine a treasure like this won't cost an arm and a leg!

I spoke to the Detroit Art Institute Curator and she told me the chest was donated in 1969.

That American Journal of Archaeology article "The Allegorical Siege in the Art of the Middle Ages" is an excellent find by John Brown! Thank you, astree, for cross-posting it here! (I've posted it over at THOR as well, crediting him.) Now we know the whole story of the scene depicted on the lid of Indulgence! What's amazing to me is that it took 9 years for a searcher to discover this. The question is: exquisite researcher that Forrest is, did he also uncover this journal article long ago?
