Near by a man is drinking tea from Samovar and a shot of vodka. Behind them, in the background, we can see several kiosks and groups of people buying and selling different goods, as well as bufoon with a trained Bear.
The artist demonstrates filigree skill in paintng such objects with amazing precision.
We can find two pieces of mother-of-pearl in this composition. The one is hides under the "body" of samovar, and the second one - the the scarf of a girl in the middle of the scene.
The sides of the box are richly decorated with intricate ornament painted in gold.
