| Description | Black leather-covered, rounded box with a push-to-open securing mechanism and a fitted interior lined in red velvet and silk. The case contains an incomplete laryngoscope set, comprising five glass mirrors, a ball-and-socket laryngoscope with headband, a metal handle (with missing screw-in securing mechanism), and a selection of probes and specula. A laryngeal brush and an additional set of metal handles would have originally completed the set.
An Eustachian catheter (MIMM/2024-4-8) was also found inside the case but has been removed and catalogued separately, as it was not originally part of the set.
