Tomb of the governor's wife Van Steelant and a print showing a storm off the coast of Nagapatnam.
The burial vault was situated in Nagapatnam, and alongside the governor's wife her four sons were also buried there.
The print at the bottom depicts a heavy storm which raged along the Choromandel coast in November 1715. Many ships were sunk that night.
