Construction is thin plates of a copper alloy over a box made of very thin yew-wood.

Queen Osburgh/Osburga (d.before 856) was the mother of Alfred the Great. During the early middle ages the mother was responsible for her children's education; she herself could be better educated than her husband. A 9th century account praises Osburgh for giving her sons a book of Saxon poetry, saying, "Whichever of you shall the soonest learn this volume shall have it for his own." When Alfred triumphed over his brother, she "smiles with satisfaction". PICTURE: Osburga reads for Alfred, 1911.

In 1698 a man was imprisoned in the Bastille. This man had been a captive of the government since at least 1687 and for all that time his face had been hidden by a mask. He died in 1703, but rumors about his existence continued to circulate. The prisoner was treated very well, but two musketeers stood by him at all times, ready to kill him if he removed his mask. He ate in the mask, slept in the mask, and eventually died in the mask. Even at the royal court his identity remained a mystery.

Make them come back again. Ah! I had such a good mother and such a good father! I have such faith in You and I thank You in advance."
