A black left-handed baritone Mirafone case used at Florida A&M University. The case is constructed of wood, plastic, metal, and is rhomboid in shape. There is one handle on the side with the metal snap locks – which are brass colored and show corrosion. There are areas of exposed filling at each end the case, and rounded protruding floor raisers. The interior of the case is lined in soft red fabric with spots of wear throughout. A round decal is nailed to one side of the lower interior end, featuring white stars and a red emblem; the decal reads in white bold: [AUSTRALIAN MADE]. Two black snap closure pockets are sewn into the case on both sides, alongside a small red fabric padded pocket for accessories.
