The box's exterior imitates the coloring of turquoise while the interior is traditionally red.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The lid is hinged from the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, the year of 2006 and the title.
