Rectangular box with lid, predominantly gold on top and gray on front and sides. The gray areas appear textured and mottled. A stylized deer made of iridescent mother-of-pearl is on the front left, outlined in gold. The deer faces right and appears to be sitting down. On the right side of the deer, there is a flower or blossom also made of mother-of-pearl. The top of the box has a design that looks like tree bark. The box's front and top meet at a slight lip. The background behind the box is plain and light-colored.
