A vertically oriented lacquer lid in black, gold, and red centers a bird on a flowering branch against a gold-speckled background. At the bottom, long, blade-like leaves and flowers grow upward beside a cluster of red berries. On the left sits a vertical rectangle with a red and gold textured pattern. Throughout the composition, raised gold flowers bloom on branches reaching toward the right, the bird tilting its head upward.
