"The Sealed Casket"

by Richard F. Searight

originally published Weird Tales, March 1935

Wesson Clark, sneaky archaeologist, has inherited a small, sealed ancient casket from his now-deceased colleague, Martucci.

Martucci, it seems, had never had the courage to open it.  But Clark does.  Only to discover it contains a sinister occupant....

Pulpy fun with a certain M.R. James flavor which I kind of liked.
