I. Nautilus Cup, set in Gold with Cover.

This is a beautiful specimen of cinque-cento goldsmith work, preserved

at Corby Castle, the seat of H. P. Howard, Esq. M. P. Many specimens of

the Shell of the Nautilus, mounted in this manner, and all produced about

the same date are to be found; none of them, however, that we have seen,

exceed, or even equal the present in excellence of design.
