Fish-shaped brass container. The head of the fish is hinged to the body on the top and latched to the body at the bottom. On the bottom latch there is a short length of black and yellow textile rope. The head has two large half circles on either side which represent the gills. The main pattern on either side of the body is carved in such a way to look like scales. On the top of the box there are three fins, the largest being closest to the head and then getting successively smaller towards the tail. There is a hollowed out circle on the largest fin. On the bottom of the fish there are four wavy lines separated by a straight line. There are two protruding half circles are on top of the line design. Near the tail there is a design that wraps around the fish that is made up of straight lines, wavy lines, arrows and a braided line.

Rectangular, footed brass box with hinged, pyramid-shaped lid. The lid of the box is decorated with several different designs including straight and wavy lined patterns. In the centre of each of the four side panels of the lid are six spirals designs, three on either side of a centre line. There are four ‘balls’ on each panel, two at the bottom corners and two on at the top. A curvilinear shaped handle is fixed at the top of the lid. The lid is hinged to the body of the box on the back side and on the front side there is a hinged, loop-shaped latch which closes over a corresponding fixed loop-shaped protrusion extending from the front of the body. The main body of the box has a open work pattern that resembles a cage. There are also three ‘balls’ along each of the four vertical edges of the box. The box rest on four small feet, one in each of the four corners.
