Description: | A flat oval section with a tapered, deep, hinged lid set in a tooled mount and with a separate leather case. Inside is a set of twelve implements: a pencil-case, compasses, 6" measure, tweezers, scissors, tiny spoon, memorandum tablet, brass handle, knife blade, paper knife, stiletto, and two-pronged fork. The exterior is decorated with four oval panels (probably late 18th century and painted over prints) with conventional rococo-pastoral scenes, which are fastened down by borders of repousse and chased gilt metal cartouches on a ground of shagreen.
