Black cylindrical case with a white cord handle at the top. The case has a design of a moth and butterflies beside a flowering mustard plant, depicted in shades of green, brown, white, and gold on a black background. A large moth with green and gold wings and a white body is on the left side. A flowering plant with white blossoms, brown stems and leaves is on the right side with two butterflies. One butterfly is white, gold, and blue; the other is brown. The case appears to be divided into sections by thin gold lines. The background behind the case is beige.
