Enamel on copper with gilt metal mounts; rectangular; the lid painted with the Schloss at Hubertusburg
Enamel on copper with gilt metal mounts; rectangular with straight sides and hinged slightly domed lid. The box is painted in coloured enamels on a white enamelled ground. Depicted on the lid is the hunting Schloss at Hubertusburg with the inscription above ' NVNCIA PACIS' and below 'HVBERTSBERG . D. 15 FEBR : MDCCLXIII'. On the four sides are depicted buildings in landscapes, and on the base a map on partially furled scroll. Inside the lid is depicted a female holding a baton or sceptre in her right hand and an ear of corn in her left hand. She stands in a rural landsape in which there is a field of partially cut corn and a man ploughing with two horses. Inscribed above is 'IAM REDIRE AVDET' and below ' GERMANIS PACTA'. The gilt metal mount round the lid has two narrow borders of engine turned decoration and a cusped thumbpiece. Inside the box both mounts have fluted edges.
