The elaborate adornment of the entire body makes it a breathtaking piece for storing personal fashionable items. The inner surface of this jewelry box is also ornamented with mother of pearl.

• It is quite remarkable that the artist could depict the scene in such detail without brush or pen, but only with mother of pearl strips.
• The inner surface is also ornamented with the iridescence of raw mother of pearl pieces.
