A snuffbox in a cartouche-shaped gold body with an ornament of scrolls, rocailles and flowers, with a hinged lid. On the lid, there is a moss agate insert with an exquisite natural pattern in the form of plants and branches, in a gold shaped setting. Under the lid, there is a mirror-polished compartment for tobacco. The agate plate of the lower panel of the base features a softer pattern of brown tones. The smoothly polished side surface is decorated with chased medallions with a relief ornament in the form of flowers, leaves, scrolls and rocailles on a matted (canfarent) field. On the front side of the profiled edge of the lid, there is a lip for opening.
