Double-sided medallion says "fake watch". On one side, a rare portrait of a little boy, Louis XVI period, in a blue-rose sweater jacket . On the other side, the portraits, in micro-sculpture of ivory, depicted seven great philosophers among whom one can recognize Voltaire (top left) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (top right).
