A circular dark lacquer container features gold-colored designs of a maple tree growing from slanting ground on its rounded lid. Branches with serrated leaves spread across the surface, while fine parallel lines slant across the background. Below, maple leaves float on stylized water ripples. The decoration has a dense, speckled texture, and a gray metal rim marks where the lid and base meet.
