A long, slender cylindrical enamel case features three primary decorative bands. The turquoise bands at the top and bottom feature a circular lattice pattern. A central black band displays vertically stacked motifs including a container with green sprigs, white scrolls, and stylized red clouds. Thin metal rings cap both ends of the vertical object. The smooth, polished surface showcases the detailed imagery against a neutral, shaded background.
