The chest features multiple drawers, each with unique landscape scenes, flora, fauna, and traditional motifs, all rendered in shimmering mother-of-pearl against a black lacquer background. The style is characterized by fine craftsmanship, detailed ornamentation, and the use of natural materials to create visually striking and functional pieces.
