For a related example in Corning Museum see Hollister and Lanmon, 'Flowers which Clothe the Meadows' (1978), p.89, fig.211. Another encased double overlay weight was sold by Bonhams, 2 November 2015, Lot 57. In his catalogue no. 40, L H Selman exhibited an encased overlay weight in green also with two animal panels, and his catalogue describes the difficult manufacture of these weights. With the high risk of cracking during the extra processes involved, it is little wonder that so few encased overlay weights were created.
