The inside of this box is subdivided for storing documents. The short falling rod on the front resembles the shape of a bamboo tree, whereas the corner wrappers resemble that of leaves. There are two cranes and a peach depicted on the top, and the front is decorated with butterflies flying around chrysanthemums and peonies. Orchids are rendered elegantly on the rear side.
