This box belonged to Maria Maddalena of
Austria. The little dog carved in ivory and placed on the cover is a King Charles spaniel, a breed much loved by the Stuart king Charles II. The statuette, which honors a dog that belonged to Maria Maddalena, was a present from her husband; it passed into the collection of Ferdinand II and was later kept at the Uffizi, from where it was transferred to the Pitti Palace, during the second half of the 18th century.

Ivory dog on a ebony box. Height 2 1/2 inches, length 7 inches, box 10 by 6 inches. Florence, Museo degli Argenti
