Miniature collector's cabinet
A small wooden cabinet covered in dark tooled leather, with gilt-metal corners and a carrying handle on top. Its front holds rows of drawers faced with carved ivory reliefs, and the lid lies open at the front, showing a marquetry border of inlaid woods around a glass panel.
Look closer: A small brass hasp on the front edge of the open lid.
