The box shows several scenes from the “Tale of Golden Cockerel” written by the Great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. It is a story of Tsar Dadon who received from a magic astrologer a magic golden cockerel and in return for it promised to fulfill any of the astrologer's wishes. The cockerel crowed to warn the tsar of approaching danger, thus enabling him to assemble troops and rebuff the enemy attack. When the cockerel crowed again to alarm, the tsar sent his sons at the head of the troops in the direction from which danger threatened. When his sons didn't return, he set out with an army himself. Instead of an armed enemy he was met by the beautiful Shemakha Queen. She was the enemy of whom the cockerel had warned the tsar. The silly and lustful tsar didn't want to believe the cockerel and proposed marriage the Shemakha Queen in spite of the fact that it was obvious that she had killed his sons. In the end of the story the tsar is punished and killed because of his carelessness.
The box is made of paper-mache and sign by the artist on the buttom of the lid.
