This wooden box has detailed carved to its exterior, and even to the inside edges and the underside of the lid. The carving includes intricately depicted mythical creatures which looks like dragons. There also are carved patterns of various textures. The dragons inside and out have red cabochon eyeballs. The box has a sliding mechanism (the lower, front panel slides to the right to open the box, as is visible in Photo 5) on the front which allows the box to be locked and unlocked so that it stays securely closed. Inside, there is a removable divided tray which lifts out to reveal another divided compartment.
