A miniaturized copy of the marble sarcophagus of Casimir IV the Jagiellonian (died 1492) was funded by Queen Elisabeth of Habsburg and produced by Wit Stwosz with the support of Jorg Huber in the years 1492–1494.
The sarcophagus takes the form of a tomb with a figure of the king dressed in his coronation robes on its lid. At the feet of the king are two lions standing on their hind legs and holding escutcheons bearing the coats of arms of both Poland and the Habsburgs. Between them, there is an escutcheon carrying the coat of arms of the Jagiellonian dynasty. On the longer sides of the tomb are pairs of mourners with the coats of arms of Lithuania, the Dobrzyń Land and the Kujawy Land. On the shorter sides – the coats of arms of Poland.

Small sarcophagus like this one were used to safe keep precious reliques.
