The amphora is suspended from its original matching Victorian silver chatelaine necklace, elaborately pierced and engraved with floral motifs, scrollwork, and beadwork, including gold and rose-gold accent details, showcasing the refined craftsmanship of Tiffany's early silverwork under Moore’s directorship.
The hinged vinaigrette-style lid opens to reveal a small compartment, likely designed to hold aromatic salts or perfume oils—underscoring its dual-purpose functionality as both a wearable and practical object.
