A rectangular shallow box inlaid with rainbow-colored iridescent shell on a black enamel background, depicting figures in a garden landscape. Centered in the foreground are three figures standing on a sloping shore, with stylized plants and a footbridge at bottom left. The figures - two women on the right speaking with a man on the left - wear long robes with their hands bundled in long sleeves. In the upper right background an old bearded man stands behind a rickshaw parked near a tree. In the upper left background is a rocky landscape at water’s edge, with cabochon diamonds sprinkled above the water at center. The larger pieces of shell are finely incised with details; the contours of the shore are filled with sparkling chips of shell. Bright gold borders mark the edges of the box. Fluted vertical straps of orange-red coral on the sides of the box connect to three fan-shaped coral mounts on the top surface. Two mounts are spaced on the far edge, at the top of the garden scene, with one mount centered on the near edge, at the bottom of the scene. The mounts are studded with bright green cabochon emeralds in gold fittings. The front side of the box has an inlaid shell scene depicting rocks and plants, accented with cabochon emeralds and bracketed at the corners with coral and pale green fluted nephrite. The box sits on a softly-reflective white surface.
