The silver Esther Scroll Case consists of a body, an apex, and a handel. The base of the body is hemispherical, with a design of smaller petals getting larger towards the body. The eight-faceted body is decorated with a scroll pattern alternating with a floral pattern. The facets are separated by a beaded wire. The same wire frames the top and bottom of the facets. The elongated hemispherical crown terminates in a filigree apex, surmounted by a floral disk. At the base of the crown is a crenellated border. A narrow bar is attached to the enclosed Esther scroll. The eight-faceted tapering handle has a bud at the bottom and bends toward the top. It winds the scroll inside the case.
