ملاحظات	Cypriot jewellery is a rich mix of oriental design and Greek workmanship. Pilgrims to the Holy Land frequently passed through Cyprus, and the Cypriot goldsmiths absorbed influences from Western Europe as well as Ottoman Turkey. Their work is similar to jewellery from elsewhere in the region, but the quality is often higher. For their finest work they used niello or filigree. The goldsmiths of Cyprus were famous for their filigree, often enriched with blue and green enamels. This filigree case was described as a relic case when it was bought, but it is more likely to have had a secular use. The circular shape and the decorative chain with a central bead show that it probably held a man's watch, an essential accessory for all wealthy men throughout the Ottoman Empire. It was bought in 1888, just after a terrible famine, when many people had to sell their family heirlooms.

Attached to three lengths of loop-in-loop chain ending in a hook of sheet silver decorated with a missing paste, and with a flat filigree bead halfway along the chains, set with a blue paste and a coral bead.
