- An oval shaped brass box with lid attached by hinges so it can open completely. Lid fits flushly and smoothly over the lip of the body. Its overall appearance is of an oval with two domes that flatten for top and base. Picture inscribed in brass on top of a man and woman fighting while some rather anthropomorphized animals smile on, a lion, bear, and monkey (?) the text accompanying translates from the Dutch: "Living animals you can tame, but in the world lives no man who can tame his wife.” On the base is an image of a man upon whom two women are spilling "slops" from a window, at left, while at right a harried man in a cave-break is being attacked by a gryphon and a lion, and a text, translated from the Dutch reads "I would rather not love or drink than make my resting place and home with an angry woman." Interior of box is painted black, which has blistered. Some of design has been polished away.

The four walls of the box have an elaborately carved floral, on the back panel a single dog running is centred, and on the ends a bird each is seen perched in the foliage. The top of the box presents a scene from "the life of the Hindu Gods," five figures one of them dog-faced, in formal pose, and on either side of that group are two fish-tailed men. A 10 cm. crack runs from the front left foot on the box base, and a crack 22 cm. long runs around the corner of the top left of the lid.

- (a) and (b) are very similar: ingot-shaped brass blocks with sturdy end plates and substantial cross bar which runs from end to end above the body. Key is a slotted brass rod which, when it is intruded to the lock, pulls in the tines hinged at one end only of the locking block. The pulled-in tines can then pass through an opening which they could not otherwise pass. (c) functions in the same way as (a) and (b) but the lock itself is in the shape of a bulldog, and the locking bar extends through the mouth of the dog, making its tongue. The brass of the dog is striped.
