The box is rectangular. The lid is decorated with a view of Amsterdam and its harbor. The towers at the far sides are probably the Montelbaanstoren and the Schreierstoren, the rampart towers of 1512 and 1487. The box is inscribed: Amsterdam.
The underside shows a cartouche with the coat of arms of Amsterdam. The edge of the front side is decorated in the center with scrolls.
