We have one object in this medium

Here we have a golden compact case. It is rectangular with curved edges and has a triangle floral decoration and initials on the top, with a metal latch on the edge. The floral decoration is triangle-shaped and reminiscent of an envelope flap. The floral decoration is in black outline, symmetrical, and has simple circles, flowers and leaves arranged outward from the center. Framing the floral triangle is a simple, curving line with a spade at the very center. In the very middle of the compact are initials: [MP] written in a thin serif font with delicate curls at the end of each letter. The interior is fitted with a mirror, a lipstick, and a powder compartment.
