The exterior is adorned with elaborate carvings depicting architectural and landscape motifs, characteristic of Indonesian craftsmanship. The rich brown tones of the rosewood highlight the depth and texture of the carvings. The box is equipped with a sturdy central handle and wooden knobs for easy access to the compartments.
