The sides of the pan have floral swags and two shields of arms beneath ducal corents, for Edward 9th Duke of Norfolk. The handles, which incorporate turned ivory, depend from lion masks. The pan stands on a heavy tripod stand, each leg surmounted with a figure of an old man (a philosopher?) amidst scrollwork on the sides are three medallion portraits in the manner of ancient coins. The central burner has a hinged lid.
