A horizontally oriented rectangular porcelain and metal snuff box features an oval portrait of a man with light skin and white powdered hair. Turned slightly to our right, he wears a blue military coat with red lapels, gold trim, and medals. A gold frame with a blue ribbon at the top encircles him. A dense border of pink roses and vibrant wildflowers on a dark background surrounds the center.
