Box (tobacco-box ?), birch-bark, circular, decorated with pattern formed of twisted metal (pewter?) wires sewn on with thread; the lid with floral pattern, the base with foliage wreath enclosing initials; Sloane number in black ink on inside of lid. A double layer of birch-bark throughout, the stitches taken through both layers on sides of lid and base so that they are clearly visible on the interior surfaces.
