- A lacquered brass bell at the base — which serves as a stand/support when the object is laid down
- A slender stem connecting the two elements
The upper cone is in silvered metal (silver plate or white metal) with a fine floral engraving
The handle/stand in blackened brass bears an etched design of acanthus leaves and palmettes
The small bell at the base is also decorated
