Sitting on a table draped in a red tablecloth, surrounded by other items, is the silver bell that was once attributed to Benvenuto Cellini. Shields, urns, a book, a decorated hunting horn, and an ornate dagger occupy the floor in front of the table. To the right are several pieces of armor, on the floor beneath a stained glass window; wooden cases in the Gothic style are seen in the background
