A cute young girl is in heaven as she holds a cluster of jewels in her hand. An even cuter chipmunk sits on her shoulder and looks on. The moon shines in the sky above, its illumination provided by the iridescent mother of pearl inlay. The sides have are painted with wavy lines of green which give it the appearance of malachite. The box is made out of high quality papier mache, has a red interior and does not have a lid. It is signed with the name of the artist, village, and year. Exquisite.
