Fragrance Box

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Fragrance Box by an unknown artist depicts a round, dark brown object with a raised design on its surface. The object has a border of small circles around its edge. Inside the border, a scene is carved with people and buildings. The people are dressed in traditional clothing and are engaged in various activities, such as sitting at a table, standing, or interacting with each other. The buildings appear to be of Asian-style architecture. The scene is intricate and detailed, with many small features and textures. The object appears to be made of a dark brown material, possibly wood or metal. The background of the image is a gradient from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
