Box with figures in a landscape and peony
Red cylindrical box with a lid, featuring intricate carvings on the body and lid. The box has a flat top and a slightly rounded body. The carvings on the body depict several figures in a landscape: a man sitting on a low stool at a low table, another figure next to a table with an object on it, and a third figure near a wheelbarrow. A plant with long leaves rises from behind the low table. A band of geometric patterns encircles the box above and below the figures. The lid features a design of leaves and stems around the edge. A peony is carved on the lid. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
