Description: | Rectangular wooden container divided into 13 compartments; five of these dividers are decorated with ivory, white metal and mosaic in green, blue and red. Six of the compartments are covered with ivory lids with either one or two larger central openings to fit the ivory containers and smaller holes at the edges as decoration (five of these six lids have broken off the container). There are light blue textile strips used for lifting the container from the base of the work box on the two shorter sides.
