The famous Robert Burns work is expected to sell for up to £50,000 when it goes under the hammer at the Bonhams Scottish Sale later this month.
But the buyer will not be able to take it home, and will instead be "patron" of the 18th century artefact, which will be kept in the new Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Ayrshire.
Another piece of Burns memorabilia, a bible he owned in the later stages of his life, will also be on show.
Preserved in a velvet-lined blue Moroccan box with "Burns Bible" lettered on it in gilt, it is expected to fetch up to £2,000 in the auction.
A number of pieces relating to Queen Victoria also form part of the sale.
They include a woolwork bag she made using purple and gold threads, and a Royal Stewart silk shawl which she wore at Balmoral.
There is also a stickpin in memory of John Brown which Queen Victoria presented to her servants and cottagers on the anniversary of his death.
A specially-commissioned ceramic Wemyss Pig will also be auctioned, with all proceeds going to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The three-day sale runs from August 18-21 at Bonhams in Edinburgh.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
