    "description": "Pinned to the kovsh's interior is an oval medallion enclosed in a green neoclassical border. Portrayed against a white ground is a black Imperial Russian eagle with translucent red crowns and a yellow orb and scepter. Translucent enamel is also used for the red crest bearing the monogram of Peter I.The kokoshnik-shaped handle is decorated with strapwork, blossoms, and vines in opaque green, white black and translucent red enamel raised over a stippled gilt ground.   On the exterior of the bowl, the enameling is limited to a border of green circles and some formal strapwork enclosing stylized blossoms in blue, red, green, and black over a white ground.",
