A deep case with an edging of corded wire, and a twisted hoop with a ring. The obverse is set with a roundel of the Annunciation. On the left, Gabriel, holding a staff with a banderole wrapped around it, lifts his hands and adresses the Virgin, who kneels at a table. Above the Dove of the Holy Spirit. The reverse has a figuration of the Nativity. The kneeling Virgin lifts the Child from beside the wattle fence of the manger with its ox and ass, and offers him to God the Father who appears in the air. On the left is St. Joseph.
