A circular, enamel box cover features a composition of vibrant rectangular segments. Glossy blocks of red, orange, white, gray, and black are separated by raised, twisted brass wire borders that create a tactile grid. A large red field occupies the top center, flanked by white and gray panels. Below a horizontal gray band, smaller red, white, and orange rectangles fill the lower half, encircled by a scalloped brass rim.
