A carved burlwood snuff box, of circular form measuring approx. 3-3/8" in diameter x 1-1/2"H, with the interior fitted with tortoise shell, and the lid with a low relief design surrounding a metal medallion depicting the young Napoleon in relief with a metal rim and a domed clear protector cover. The medallion has lettering worked around the perimeter that is relatively illegible due to the soils on the underside of the dome.
