The snuff box is crafted entirely in gold, of which three colours are used for the decoration. The box is of oval form, and features an upper cover applied with a central oval plaque depicting a foliate, garden scene. The plaque is bordered with engraved and stippled patterns and beading. All around the edge runs a frieze of intersecting dotted patterning and urns holding flowers and fruit. The underside is similarly decorated. The box features a rear hinge, and opens to reveal a gold interior and makers marks.
