Case
The glazed brass case of H3. The case is constructed from thin brass sheets, all pieces are carefully fabricated using coppersmiths dovetailed joints down the edges and silver-soldered, a highly skilled exercise on a piece as large as this. The thin glass panes are puttied in from the inside. The case is shown containing H3 in Harrison’s portrait by King.
