The image displays a box decorated with a rural scene. The near side shows covered wagons pulled by horses with a windmill, labeled "WIND MILL," and a house surrounded by trees painted in a naive, folk art style. The structures and greenery are depicted with flat colors and minimal shading. On the top surface of the box, there is a depiction of hills, a sky, and a single white horse or deer among trees. The color palette consists of rich blues and greens, along with pale browns and whites for buildings and animals.
