Box with Medallion Top

Charles Nicolas Cochin II

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Oval-shaped box with a medallion on top. The box is dark-colored, likely made of metal or tortoiseshell, and has an etched design around it. A small, oval indentation on top of the box features a black and white portrait of a man wearing a wig, a white collared shirt, and a dark jacket. The box sits on a light-colored surface with a slight shadow underneath it.
