A violin-shaped casket with gilded fingerboard and a cupid's head on the headstock. All surfaces of the case, framed with openwork plated ornament, are decorated with enamel pictorial images. A courteous scene with the image of a young man in brightly coloured suit and a girl in white dress sitting on a bench under a stele among umbrageous trees is on the front side. A couple is depicted on the case rear side: a young man with a guitar and a girl with an open book are seated at the foot of a pedestal with a bust of a man. The lateral sides are decorated with a putto holding flute and music manuscript on one side and a cupid with a putto on the other one.  A knurled button for activating musical mechanism with pinned metal cylinder for two tunes, a sound comb and a spring drive are on the fingerboard rear side. A fixed key for winding the mechanism is on the bottom of the rear side.
