The box shows the episode from the legend of Volga and Mikula-two Russian epic Heroes.

Mikula Selyaninovich was one of the most popular bogatyrs/epic heroes in Russia, the ploughman, and the embodiment of hard-working Russian people. The strongest of the Russian bogatyrs, Svyatogor, couldn't lift the bag filled with the Earth's heaviness dropped out of Mikula's hands. Prince Werewolf, Volga, together with his army, also couldn't surpass Mikula in strength. They all couldn't lift Mikula's plough.

The exterior of the piece is painted with black lacquer and interior is painted with red lacquer.
