The rectangular gold snuffbox with rounded corners and a concave side surface features a hinged cover. The overlapping cover and the bottom base panel are crafted from agate with an unusual natural pattern of brown, cream, white, and gray tones, featuring faceted edges. Under the cover is a tobacco compartment with a polished surface. The mounts of the cover and base, along with the side surface, are mirror-polished. The front side of the contoured edge of the cover features a ribbed and scrolled thumbpiece for opening.
