A gilt metal and glass box has a horizontal, rounded rectangular shape. Textured golden bands frame the top and bottom edges. Muted landscape paintings are visible under the glass lid and side panels. On the front, figures stand on a reddish shore near a building to our left. A small boat with a red flag rests on the water, while a town with a spire rises to our right.
