Box
Possibly the base of a tobacco box. It is ginger-brown coloured and moulded with applied reliefs showing a naval officer in a cocked hat seated in Neptune's shell chariot drawn by sea horses. He holds a trident, and a female figure holds a laurel wreath above his head. Other reliefs show Britannia, Fame, Mercury and Amphitrite. There is moulded floral decoration around the rim.
