Small wooden dagger like object (part a), wrapped in papers (parts c-h), inside a red paper envelope (part b). The front of the red envelope has Chinese characters and images of bamboo and panda bears printed in metallic gold ink. The small wooden stick (dagger?) is round at the handle end, and tied with multiple threads in black, beige, red and tan, forming a tassel. The somewhat flattened blade section has red Chinese characters written on both sides. There are five thin pieces of paper, with writing on them in red ink (parts c-g), folded and wrapped around the stick. All are all wrapped in a small thin piece of red tissue paper (part h), and placed inside the envelope. The bottom of the envelope has ripped open.
