This small perfume flask is carved from a coquilla nut. This is the nut of the piassava palm that is native to Brazil. Its colour and hardness make it a very suitable nut for small, intricate carvings, giving it its name 'vegetable ivory'. 

The carvings display finely wrought flower, fruit, and foliage motifs. The flask is fitted with a gold plated cap and chains, making it wearable as a pendant.
