A red lacquer food box with a notched footprint features four stacked tiers on a matching stand. Against the red background, intricate floral vines in muted greens, yellows, and reds bloom, detailed with fine gold lines. These patterns wrap around the sides and cover the flat top. Below, four curved legs join a base frame mirroring the box's irregular shape, supporting the ornate, vertically stacked structure.
