This box is smaller than the usual size for pieces of the same type. It is hinged in the same manner as other examples in the Collection, and the fastener is operated by a gilt button release; the box is fitted with blackened pad feet. The surface is hatched overall and blackened, each surface forming a single self-contained decorative area with no internal divisions. These are all borded with a narrow gold ribbon containing a line of circular punch-marks. Each area is filled with wire damascened foliate ornament having as its major element wyverns whose tails are the termination of the vegetal volutes. On the forward face the ornamentation includes two cornucopias filled with flowers. While this style was called renacimiento in Eibar, in the present case it exhibits the strong influence of Romanticism.
