This work was not originally hung on a wall or displayed as part of an altarpiece. It is believed to have formed a panel on a cassone, a storage chest for clothing. This panel may have been part of a travel chest, which was usually less lavish than those meant to be used in the home. The subject, the Procession of the Magi, was commonly used for travel chests.
Medium: Tempera on wood. Measurements: 47.5 x 53.8 cm (18 11/16 x 21 3/16 in.) unframed.
