A gold wax case in the shape of a truncated cone with an oval cross-section. It is entirely chased with parallel striations embellished with round pastilles. The upper part is edged with three belts of small studs alternating with very fine blue enamel lines and ends in a swirling rosette. A banner bearing the inscription "souvenir d'amitié" and two pigeons, symbols of love, complete the decoration. The base is decorated at both ends with two studded bands. The decoration depicts a man in a red suit accompanied by a greyhound placing a crown of white pearls at the foot of a alter, while a barefoot lady dressed in green offers a lamb. Buccolic varnish-covered chinese landscape.
