The scene is masterfully drawn. The evening sky shimmers dramatically as it has been painted over silver powder. More brilliance and luster come from pieces of mother-of-pearl that shine brightly with glimmering blue, green and violet tones in the lower part of this box. Gold paint is used to detail the trees, the owls, the nest and a lot of other details1
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The lid is hinged, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the title, Fedoskino and the year of 2008.
