Cylindrical object with rounded top and bottom, divided into two sections by a horizontal line. The object has a black background with gold, white, and red designs. The left side shows a man in white clothing sitting on the ground playing a flute, surrounded by tall grasses and plants, with a full moon in the background and a dog. The right side depicts another man in white clothing hiding among tall autumn grasses. The object appears to be made of lacquerware, with a shiny surface and intricate designs. Two black cords are visible at the top, possibly for hanging. The background behind the object is a plain beige color.
