Raised from a single sheet of silver, parcel-gilt. On the inside is a gilt floral tendril frieze, framed by two wave meanders that run in the same direction. The latter are set off from the scroll by narrow silver strips. The frize is gilded all over. Above the tendril frieze there is another gilt wave meander. Undecorated exterior.
