Pen Box with European Women and Other Figures in Landscape

Cover and sliding compartment with rounded ends. The top is decorated in horizontal format with three vignettes of women in European clothing reclining in landscape; the vignettes are separated by two oval medallions containing bust length portraits of European women. In the central vignette, a haloed woman is attended by a female attendant and a winged angel. On the sides, bust-length portraits of women in medallions alternate with pastoral images of women and children, and images of reclining men in Persian dress. The base and sliding compartment are decorated with a gold arabesque on a red background.
