Aumonière composed of nine leather elements: the back and its lining, a flap, a front plate in the shape of a crescent with truncated points, two small triangles with truncated points mounted on the front plate, an insert between these two pieces, a saddle edge and a piping. The decoration consists of four parallel lines delimiting a central rib on the flap. A metal clip allowed the closure.
