Although these pieces are sumptuous enough to take pride of place in any collection, it is possible that they were made, or put together from earlier parts, much later than their supposed date.","physicalDescription":"Three square silver-gilt frames, decorated with applied silver-gilt filigree, each containing four cloudy agate bowls.  The bowls are each made out of a square piece of agate with a circular depression in its top face and shallow indented sides.  The four bowls are tightly packed together in a square held in the frame by a strip of silver-gilt, with fleur-de-lys points along its upper edge, round the inner rim of the frame, which engage with the lower half of each bowl, and a screw, with a filigree flower on its top, which is fastened through the centre point of the four bowls and secured on the underside of the frame with a quatrefoil nut.  The filigree on the frame is attached by a screw on each corner.  There is a solid silver-gilt ball foot at each corner of the frame with a filigree rosette over its upper half.
