The exterior combines muted brown and gold tones, with the raised embossed areas providing a contrasting texture. A gilded border follows the edges of the lid and sides, adding to the ornate aesthetic. The interior of the box is lined with a dark green fabric, covering both the lid and base. Inside, the box is fitted with padded bars, likely intended for holding rings. The same green fabric is applied to the interior of the lid, which includes a central fastening mechanism for secure closure. The base of the box is similarly covered in green fabric, creating a cohesive appearance. Judging by the craftsmanship and style, this box likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century.

Its compact size makes it versatile for various storage needs.
