The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the top of the composition, and the box rests on four rounded legs. Signed with the name of the artist, the village of Mstera and the title on the exterior's bottom.
