The box is circular in form with silver sides and a tortoiseshell base. The tortoiseshell, pull-off, cover is most unusually inset with a beautiful gold and silver raying star motif. The underside of the cover displays its original mirror. This is the first time we have seen this design of patch box, which is in excellent condition.
