Shaped like a sunflower petal, the box and lid can be distinguished by their primary and tertiary openings. The body is painted thickly with a red lacquer, while the bottom portion and inner walls are painted black. The inner surface of the upper opening features carved figures of people. Meanwhile the outer portion is decorated with a continuous pattern of one circle to every two squares, the square thunder pattern. A circle at the bottom of the square thunder pattern is engraved with the blessing, Happiness and Longevity. The abdominal wall is comprised of six sets of openings that are decorated on the inside with branches and flowers. Flowers decorate the areas between the openings. The patterns on the outer wall of the box are similar to those on the abdominal section of the lid. With such an elaborate composition, the entire ware features a fine level of craftsmanship that embodies the eighteenth century aesthetic style.
