Description
Described as being "little" and "pearl-coloured" in the text (Wilde 120), done in an Egyptian style. Dorian remarks that the piece appeared to be "the work of some strange Egyptian bees that wrought in silver" (Wilde 120), alluding to the piece's connection to Orientalism and a sense of intricate mystery in "otherwordly" objects. It mimics the octagonal shape of the room.
