In original fitted leather box, with old manuscript attesting to its provenance from the Chinese Emperor's Summer Palace. Notes This inscription in Chinese characters was written on a piece of paper attached to a Louis XVI style gold and enamel etui from the Chinese Emperor's Summer Palace.

The three holes in the bottom of the page are believed to have been the Chinese characters for "Summer Palace".
