An enamel on copper bird bonbonniere with a chipped, fragmented head features a silver beak encircled by red and tiny black eyes on a white face. A deep red patch marks its side beside a black wing with yellow stripes. The rounded figure sits on a green base atop a ridged, bronze-toned metal mount that forms the container's bottom.
