The main body in a stunning clear celeste bleu turquoise enamel topped with a wide set of gilt bands, a very fine sawtooth or dentil band below a sandwich of a wide band between two finer. The wider main band has an intricately reserved pattern very well painted in green and black enamel to depict a running piece of swagged silk.
