The front and the back are natural tortoise shell. The front is completely covered in piqué work. The tiny polka dots covering the front and back are tiny gold color nail heads, The figure eight design is piqué work in mother of pearl shell, two rows flanking a row of gold color ribbon. More gold color piqué in a row and another solid ribbon frame the figure eight design. The center is floral piqué work in gold tone and mother of pearl around a shield with initials. Over 4000 piqué dots in the background and who knows how many make the design. One "solid ribbon" is missing at the top of the bottom design. 5 5/8 inches x 3 wide.
