Solid silver box for tobacco. The box was made entirely by hand starting from a silver sheet and subsequently shaped and welded giving it an oval and rounded shape. The external part of the body of the box has been polished with pumice stone making it smooth and shiny, while the hand hammering is clearly visible inside the box. The lid was embossed and hand engraved with the figure of a Scottish man with a pipe lying on a lawn. At the top left appears the embossed writing "tobacco" in Italian.
