The new prodigy is, like its predecessors, of pure solid gold.

It is worth 500 dollars, and weighs nearly, if not quite, a pound.

This small treasure is intended for the owner's "little" finger.

It is the work of Mr.Melon, jeweller and goldsmith, on Camp-street, and is adorned with small carved figures, standing out in bold relief, and of very diminutive size, yet distinct and expressive.

The right outer surface represents the flight of Joseph, the Virgin, and the infant Jesus into Egypt.
Joseph, bearing a palm-branch, leads the way, the Virgin follows, seated on a donkey, and holding the Saviour in her lap.
