There is a large wooden container with a rectangular base and two rounded knobs on the top surface which also serves as the lid. The container has carved handles that extend outward on each side. The object is a rich, warm brown color typical of polished wood with subtle variations in the wood grain. The box is placed centrally in the image, oriented horizontally, with handles and knobs visible against a plain, light background.
