Abstract
- Shell is made of dark discolored brass with a fluted corset 12 cm from the base measuring 6 cm in diameter. The top edge of the shell is flared outward and has been cracked in places, with some gaps where pieces have broken off. The upper portion has a pebbled background, revealing two embossed and engraved flowerpots with leaves and flowers. One flowerpot appears to have roses, while the other appears to have poppies.
