A colourless transparent glass jar, four-sided with bevelled corners, with a hinged lid, silver-gilt frames on the sides and lid, a keyhole on the front side and a key. All four sides of the jar and the external surface of the lid are decorated with the engraved compositions in the Classical style. Rectangular frames decorated with meanders are decorated with the images of the goddess Aphrodite seated in a chariot drawn by swans (lid), kissing doves, a vase with flowers (front and back walls), and vedutas with a gazebo, one of which is complemented by the image of a greyhound (side walls). The surfaces of the slanted edges of the jar are decorated with ‘lines’ of stylized rosettes in rectangular frames; a rectangular frame with rosettes framed by bands of oval facets is located at the bottom.
