The rectangular box has straight sides and a flat lid with a carved tortoiseshell hinge and thumbpiece.  The walls of tortoise-shell have been interlined with engraved metal, which gives a faint pattern through the shell; and a thin metal wire has been inlaid round the rim of the box.  The mount is engraved with scrolling foliage.  The rectangular miniature depicts a spray of flowers, including roses, tulips, poppies and auriculas, on a marble slab.
