Young girl's notebook. The dishes are made of burgau mother-of-pearl. The frame is very finely engraved bronze. The spandrels are chiseled with caduceus decoration.

It includes: an illustrated calendar dated 1828, the twelve months of the year, illustrated with putti, a collection of poems "the merit of women" by Gabriel LECOUVE, and a cardboard weekly planner.
