This circular box with screw lid is of carved ivory. On the lid is a medallion with the scenes of Adam and Eve standing under the Tree of Knowledge. Around the box are carved allegorical subjects in relief representing the Four Elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water, represented by four seated women. One wearing a fur hat seated at a brazier (Fire), another blowing a horn (Air), a third, bare-breasted, with a trident and a fish (Water), and finally Europa and the Bull (Earth). Four trees separate the four figures.
