The crescent moon hangs over the fields in the background and who knows what else will happen in this meeting. The box is sweetly drawn with vivid colors. It has a couple gold ornaments around the top and one along the sides. It has a hinge at the left. Signed on top, and on the bottom of the box, with the initials of the artist, village and title.
