A set of four sword fittings depicted in a light-colored wood box with a red interior. The box has a lid propped up on the right side. The sword fittings are shaped like animals. One is a boar or pig; one resembles a tapir; and two are monkeys. The box sits on a white cloth that is torn and frayed around the edges. Two of the fittings are outside the box; two are inside. The background of the image is off-white with Japanese writing in black ink. The writing is in several columns along the left and top of the image. A small red seal stamp is on the right side. The overall image has a beige border around the edges.
