A snuffbox in a cylindrical-shaped gold body, decorated with borders with white enamel beads and green enamel leaves on a golden field, with a detachable lid. In the center of the lid, under a convex glass, there is a miniature depicting a young lady with powdered hair under a wide-brimmed straw hat with feathers. Her arms, bare to the elbow, rest on the edge of a small table. The miniature is framed by a border of a chain of white enamel beads and green enamel leaves between two gold polished grooves. The rim of the lid is decorated with a strip of white enamel beads and a border with a garland of white enamel flowers and green enamel leaves on a matted (canfarent) field. Under the lid, there is a compartment for tobacco with marks on a mirror-polished surface. On the lower panel of the base and the side surface, a field of royal blue enamel on guilloche with a pattern in the “paillon” technique of gold stars is framed by a chain of white enamel beads and a border with beads and leaves and green enamel dots on a golden matted (canfarent) field. The framing of the side surface is supplemented by a strip of white enamel.
