The box is oblong with rounded ends. The lid's central field depicts a couple in a landscape, the man offering a flower to the woman. At either end, surrounded by leaf scrolls, is the following inscription: Daar is het roosien/ rnij suijker doosie (There is my rosie / my sweetie pie).
The underside shows a similar landscape in which the same couple reach out to each other. Inscribed at left and right: Daar is mij troul / o soeten iuffervrou (There is my faithfulness / o sweet miss).
The rims are lined. The front side is engraved with a hunting scene. The rounded ends and back side show chevron ornament.
