A rectangular jewellery box made from dark reddish-brown hardwood with a high-gloss finish. The hinged lid is decorated with a centrally carved circular motif representing the Chinese shou character, a symbol of longevity. The box features decorative brass hardware, comprising a large hasp with engraved foliate and scroll designs and a traditional horizontal bar padlock. The original brass key is present. The item follows traditional Chinese design principles and is likely a mid-to-late 20th-century decorative piece.
