Transcription: [double-headed eagle] RUSSIAN IMPERIAL EXHIBIT February 1st, 1934. Article No. 6111
A jewel chest made of hand-hammered silver, and lined with mulberry velvet. On the cover is the Russian Imperial Double-headed eagle adorned with the various emblems of the Romanoff family. The sides of the cover bear the repeated initial "M", inlaid with blue enamel, which stands for the Dowager Empress Marie, mother of Nicholai II. The key is set with a semi-precious green stone. The box is undoubtedly of Danish origin.
It is from the quarters of the Dowager Empress Marie, in the Anitchov Palace, St. Petersburg.
