Sticks of carved and pierced ivory (20+2).  Rivet of metal; washer of ivory.  Front:  the front leaf shows 'Caesar and Cleopatra' after Pietro da Cortona (1596-1666) but the design is reversed.  The scene shows Caesar giving back the throne to Cleopatra, which her sister had usurped.  In the centre, Caesar is wearing a classical cuirass and a wreath of leaves; Cleopatra, dressed in a classical style, is stepping up to him.  The scene is set on a podium with columns in the background.  On the left, Caesar is reaching for a sceptre, which, together with a crown, is lying on a magnificent throne, which has legs shaped like a lion's mask and leg.  Further to the left, Cleopatra's sister is watching the scene; behind her and Caesar soldiers are watching from the background.  On the right, two women behind Cleopatra, further two soldiers and a vase.  The leaf is bordered by a rococo gold pattern of striped cartouches and plant motifs; some blossoms and leaves are made of applied paper or little mother-of-pearl pieces.  The top and edging are of thin gold foile.  Back:  Chinoiseries in bodycolour and watercolour; the lower half of the leaf has a brown background; the upper part has been left white.  From left to right:  a tree with two birds, a spray of roses, a Chinese man with a bow and an arrow behind a rock, a Chinese woman with a sunshade and a prunus branch; only the top edging is of gold foile.  Sticks:  finely carved and pierced striations and scrolls; cartouches showing from left to right: a man playing the flute and a woman playing the mandolin, both in contemporary dress; two half naked boys, one holding a spear, the other wearing an antique helmet playing the drums.  The medallion in the centre shows two classical warriors in parallel movement, one of them probably Minerva, and two putti; two half-naked boys, one holding a spear, the other playing the drums but without a helmet.  The last medallion shows a woman who is being watched by a man behind a curtain.  The reverse is undecorated.  Guards; both guards are carved in a similar way except for the decoration on the shoulder.  The front guard shows two doves sitting on a quiver with arrows, the background a mandolin and a flute with pierced striations.  the guard proper with silver and gold foile shows a vase, a scrolling ornament, a column, two doves holding a wreath, one sitting on a quiver with a sceptre in the background, the other flying; two stars on top."}],"identifier":[{"accession_number":"MAR.M.237-1912","primary":true,"type":"accession number","value":"MAR.M.237-1912"},{"priref":"118053","type":"priref","value":"118053"},{"type":"uri","uri":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/118053","value":"https:\/\/data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk\/id\/object\/118053"}],"institutions":[{"@link":{"type":"reference"},"admin":{"id":"agent-149638","uid":"adlib-agent-149638","uuid":"7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8"},"summary_title":"The Fitzwilliam Museum"}],"legal":{"credit_line":"C.B.
