raised on four bracket feet and flanked by two U-shaped handles, each side elaborately reticulated and carved in varying levels of relief with a shaped cartouche reserved against a ground of flower blooms wreathed in dense foliage, each cartouche depicted with a landscape scene, with figures set amidst jagged rocks, pavilions and verdant trees, the hinged cover similarly decorated against a ground of squirrels clambering among scrolling grape vines
