A flat, rectangular box in dark navy leather is bordered by delicate, gilded lines along the lid and base. A horizontal seam divides the top into two sections. From the back, a small leather flap reaches over the center, secured by a round button clasp. The closed box rests on its wide side, its minimalist aesthetic defined by deep color and precise, gold-leaf accents.
