content: Relief-decorated, oval, cylindrical container with friction-fit cover, the container engraved "KNR" in script on its flat shoulder. Side panels on container and top of cover feature a pastoral vignette of two women, one with book in her lap, sitting and listening to a man playing a lute in a garden. Container ends have three vertical panels, a buxom woman in corseted dress holding up her skirt at center flanked by military and musical trophies; the trophy panels are also used to form the cover sides. Underside of flat bottom is struck with an illegible pictorial mark, a conjoined "TS" flanked by pellets in shield and a sickle in circle.
