Silver-gilt Freedom casket, decorated with four oval plaques painted with views of Hull labelled 'THE PRINCES DOCK', 'THE GUILDHALL', 'THE CITY HALL', 'THE RIVERSIDE QUAY'. At one end is Beatty's coat of arms and at the other his lion crest. The corners are formed as bows of ships linked by silver rope. The lid is surmounted by a model capstan with two dolphins and the three crowns of Hull on an enamel plaque, and at each end a naval crown rests on a pair of shell cases. A figure of Neptune, also originally on the lid, is now missing.
