Source Description
In pierced plique-à-jour enamel on both sides of the case is a Russian crowned, double-headed eagle in pierced plique-à-jour enamel set on a finely stippled ground. They are enameled in wine red, orange, green, blue, and ochre. The shields on their breasts are decorated with foliage. Each side of the case is bordered by rows of white enamel drops, resembling pearls. The density of the decorative designs appears to be characteristic of Liubavin's enamels.
