Description: | Cameo made from a piece of pear-shaped coral. The cameo is decorated with a depiction of a tomb, which is inscribed with the letter 'N', which refers to Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805). The tomb is built under a weeping willow tree, and a midshipman can be seen kneeling on the ground to the right of the tomb. Below this scene is a depiction of a cocked hat, a crossed sword and a telescope.
