Engraved ivory powder holder with metal spout, at the bottom the ivory is broken into two places. The decoration is complex and sumptuous. Object of refined artistic quality with fine engraving, which recalls the school of Albreecht Durer, perhaps a wedding gift. The engraving depicts religious scenes: on the front there's a representation of Adam and Eve expelled from heaven. On the back, the nativity.
