Visconti crafts this incredible collection with a cylindrical shape, including carved details reminiscent of Greek columns. The map of Alexander the Great's empire, created by scrimshaw technique is darkened to make the depiction stand out against the ivory colored resin on the barrel and cap. The metal fittings are in aged bronze and feature typical Greek decorations.
On the central ring an inscription reads 'Alexander the Great' and on the bronze band of the barrel there is a gilded plate depicting the face of this fantastic figure. In homage to the Macedonian phalanx, the clip, also in aged bronze, is spear-shaped featuring a gilded shield depicting the sun, Alexander the Great's family crest.
