Die-rolled band of putti engaged in various agricultural pursuits forms the box sides, while another band of winged putti playing music, tending flowers and pulling a cart forms the bottom. Two small marks are struck at top center of inside bottom, a dog head facing right and possibly a vulture head facing left, both in conforming surrounds.
