The leaves and flower petals are rendered in black lacquer, while the gourds and blossoms stand out in cinnabar red over a warm ochre-yellow layer. The sides of the box are carved in shallow relief with a continuous keyfret (leiwen) diaper band. The interior and the recessed base are coated in plain black lacquer.
