Case and Decoration
The object is constructed with an inner and outer case, both manufactured from gilded brass. The design incorporates a thematic relief on the reverse side of the outer case, which depicts an antique scene containing a group of four figures. The composition shows one seated figure alongside three standing figures, all of which are framed by decorative elements in a rococo style.
The inner case is designed with a smooth exterior finish, providing a clean contrast to the ornate outer shell. The protective assembly includes a glass cover placed over the dial to preserve the white enamel surface. The metalwork on the exterior casing utilizes decorative casting techniques to achieve the sculptural relief motifs reported in the museum description.
