The exterior surface features intricate carvings of various designs, including geometric patterns and figurative scenes. The top and bottom edges have a geometric pattern. The top portion has a band of geometric shapes; below that are carvings that appear to be a scene with trees, figures, and possibly animals. The inside of the container is black and glossy. The background of the image is white with a shadow cast by the object. The object appears to be a "Brush holder" by artist unknown.
