Eleven pieces of polished chrome, two with ebony handles in a fitted, velvet-lined box.

An open wooden case lined with tan fabric displays a collection of antique dental instruments arranged in fitted compartments. The set includes several metal tools with turned handles, brushes, pliers, and long-handled instruments used for dental procedures. A small pair of scissor-like tools and additional attachments are also visible. The hinged wooden box has brass hardware and a latch, indicating it was designed to safely store and transport the dental kit.
