The front is adorned with a cameo of Achilles, his helmet embellished with a dragon motif. weight: 50.49 g dimensions: 2 x 6 x 3.8 cm The Yamsk Jasper cameo snuff box, depicting Achilles in profile on the lid, is attributed to the Yekaterinburg Russian Imperial Lapidary, established in 1751, known for producing exquisite hardstone objects, many now part of the State Hermitage Museum's collection.
