The box shows the performance of roaming buffoons known in Russia as "skomorokhi". Skomorokhi play their music loudly, and a bear dance to the accompaniment of their music. The villagers start to leave their houses anticipating with pleasure a joyful entertainment. The palette is filled with the tones suitable for reproduction of a traditional Palekh style. Gold paint is used to paint jingles on the tambourines and the hats of some characters, and the pipe one of them trumpets.
The scene is framed with a gold beads; the box's sides are decorated with intricate gold ornament.
