On one side, a shepherd with his staff watches over the flock, while a shepherdess with a shy smile takes care of the lambs.

On the other side, an intimate and everyday scene: a woman, with expert gestures, milks the goat, an image of rural serenity.
In addition to the bucolic scenes, the gold surrounding the small scenes is finely engraved, creating a delicate leaf pattern that adds a touch of refinement to the whole. The precision of the manual work is reflected in the vividness of the colors and the shine of the gold, which together preserve the beauty and integrity of the object.

In good condition. No cracks or restorations.
Furthermore, the two mascarons with female faces on each side are a testament to the taste for the Empire style of the period. These refined decorative elements underline the elegance associated with this artistic period.
