Resumo

The Agate Casket is the third of the great jewels from the Early Middle Ages hold in the Treasury of the Oviedo’s Cathedral. However, it has not been loant a historiographical attention comparable to that dedicated to both the two famous jewellery crosses. Drawing on the information obtained through the restoration process, this paper aims to offer a detailed description of the object, and to establish the main lines of its monographical study, from the choosing of its design to a proposal on its originary function.
