Five inches long. Stunningly etched on all four sides with musical notes and lyrics in French. Dated 1719. It reads, “Je dors du moment que je suis seul a table. Je ne puis dormir quand je suis seul au lit. Sans toi, ma cherie, tout m’est insupportable et tout a mes yeux par toi est embellic.”This roughly translates to, “I sleep from the moment that I’m alone at the table. I cannot sleep when I am alone in bed. Without you, my darling, all is unbearable, and everything, to my eyes, by is embellished by you.” See The Art Of Fine Tools page 201.
