A gold and enamel pillbox shaped like a ladybird beetle features vibrant red wings patterned with black spots. A curved row of diamonds divides the shell from a polished black head, where white circles frame diamond eyes. A gold band marks the seam between the top and the base, while small, jointed gold legs extend from beneath the body.
