A similar agate box carved in the form of a shell and marked for Louis Pin, Paris, 1748, is illustrated in A. Kenneth Snowman, Eighteenth Century Gold Boxes of Europe, London, 1966, pl. 218, which notes that the design likely derives from a late 17th century German box illustrated in J.L. Sponsel, Catalogue of the Green Vaults Museum in Dresden, Leipzig, 1900, vol. III, no.7, pl. 34.
