The oval-shaped gold snuffbox features a hinged top lid. In the center of the top lid, there is a circular medallion with a relief image of a flower head on a matted ground. The composition is executed in gold of three colors using the engraving and chasing technique. The medallion, placed against a background of a relief geometric ornament, is surrounded by a laurel wreath made of green gold. The perimeter of the lid is bordered by a meander ornament. The same decor decorates the bottom side of the snuffbox. The rim of the lid is decorated with wavy rocaille work on a matted ground. The side surface of the snuffbox is decorated with sections composed of green gold garlands placed against a geometric background similar to the general background of the lid. The sections are separated by inserts with silvered images of pine cones surrounded by rose gold rocaille work and green garlands. The inner surfaces of the snuffbox are mirror-polished.
