The design looks like fireworks to us, and in the center of each firework is a mother of pearl bead. The handle is a black wooden knob with a beautiful silk tassel in red and gold woven within it. It looks like it is signed by the artist, and there are Chinese characters on the lid. The inside is lacquered in black with a beige band in the center, which shows on the outside when the box is closed.
