Valentine gift in the form of a small heart-shaped cushion covered in white, silk fabric at the front, embroidered in silk thread in shades of pink with some yellow detailing, decorated with sequins and strips of coiled silver wire on the upper surface and along the edges. A pink, cotton fabric bow at the top and a fan-shaped brass-bound wire element. Fixed to this is a piece of paper on which is printed: 'Nao sabes quanto me custa/ Vel-a por mim padecer/ Mas um dia o soffrimento/ Ha-de tornar-se prazer'. A literal translation would be something like: 'You do not know how much it costs me /To see her suffer for me/ But one day the suffering/Will turn to pleasure.' The reverse is covered in purple silk cloth.
