This photograph by Edizione Brogi, taken between 1875 and 1900, depicts the sarcophagus of Niccolò de' Medici in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence. The sarcophagus is a simple rectangular form with a lid, resting on a plinth. Its distinctive feature is the basketweave pattern carved into the sides, referencing the Medici family's association with the wool trade.
