A square wooden box with a square lid, which is attached at the back with two metal hinges, and is formed of a piece of wood within a frame. There is an incised inscription on top of the lid in the form of four characters. The inside of the lid is lined with paper, on which is an inscription in pencil which reads 'Obedient to Heaven I supplicate my fate', which is a translation of the inscription on the lid. Inside the box near the front is a wooden divider, within which is a piece of wood with edging on three of the sides.
It is suggested that this box would have contained an important item or items conferred by the Emperor, such as a document of rights or similar.
