This artifact consists of a small instrument kept inside a rectangular leather case. The case is orange and has a flap lid with a popper closer. The instrument consists of two round lenses held in circular metal frames connected by a pair of arms hinged between the lenses. On the outside of the lenses on each side, there are two rods that can be unfolded to allow the lenses to be stood above a flat surface.
The case may not be original to the instrument.
