A jewel box made of silver. The cover is adorned with vari-colored Russian enamel, pearls and rose diamonds. It was made by the court silver-smith, Bolin, whose full name it bears. It is also marked with the initials of his assistant master and the figures "88", which denote the highest quality of Russian silver.
The box is from the personal quarters of the Czarina Alexandra, wife of Nicholai II, and was found in the Alexander Palace at Tsarskoye Selo.
