Cylindrical object with rounded top and bottom, made of dark brown material with gold accents. Two sections shown side by side. The object features a landscape design with a group of four geese flying in V-formation above thatched roofs of buildings and several pine trees. The geese are in flight at the top center. The thatched roofs and pine trees are at the bottom. The background of the design includes several horizontal lines and textured patterns, suggesting hills or mountains. The object appears to be a case, likely made of lacquer, with a black cord or strap at the top. The design on the object is rendered in shades of gold, brown, and black.
