Rectangular nécessaire with the hinged lid topped by four‑sided finial, on four feet, in the case. Agate nécessaire body within a gold openwork frame of C-scrolls and blossoms. Its façade is decorated with three medallions featuring female heads rendered in painted enamel.

The L‑shaped feet are ornamented with scrolls. The fabric-lined interior of the nécessaire contains eight fittings: two colorless clear glass bottles with gilded caps, a spoon, tweezers , an ear‑pick, a small mirror, a pencil, an ivory carnet, and a folding mirror with the lid decorated with the painted enamel composition featuring flowers and a bird.
