Miniature sedan chair in richly ornated metal with a decor inspired to the ancient Egypt: a sphynx, the goddess Isis holding an Ankh, and the the tree of life. On the top a reliev depicts a bearded man wearing a Kefiah, possibly identified with Moses. It contains an octagonal cut glass scent bottle with faceted spherical cap.
