The Brescia Casket or Lipsanotheca (in Italian Lipsanoteca) is an ivory box, perhaps a reliquary, from the late 4th century, which is now in the Museo di Santa Giulia at San Salvatore in Brescia, Italy. It is a virtually unique survival of a complete Early Christian ivory box in generally good condition. The 36 subjects depicted on the box represent a wide range of the images found in the evolving Christian art of the period, and their identification has generated a great deal of art-historical discussion, though the high quality of the carving has never been in question. According to one scholar: "despite an abundance of resourceful and often astute exegesis, its date, use, provenance, and meaning remain among the most formidable and enduring enigmas in the study of early Christian art".

  • La lipsanoteca di Brescia, anche nota semplicemente come Lipsanoteca, è un cofanetto reliquiario in avorio (22x32x25 cm) risalente alla fine del IV secolo, conservato nel Museo di Santa Giulia a Brescia. Si tratta di una delle più preziose testimonianze dell'arte iconografica paleocristiana su avorio, istoriata con ben trentasette immagini bibliche che ne fanno anche un'interessantissima testimonianza per lo studio dell'evoluzione della teologia cristiana durante i primi secoli di diffusione della nuova religione.
