This small box features another intricate cityscape by Kholui artist A. Zimin. A large Kholui church stands in the center of various log cabins. The church's roof gleams with gold while other rooftops reflect a silvery glow in the night. The edge of the sea is visible at the bottom edge of the painting. A peppering of deciduous trees completes this serene scene. A silver-dusted tower and log cabin are painted on one side of the box. The other three sides have golden ornamentation. The box is made of high-quality papier mache and stands flush on four legs with a hinge at the top. The interior is red and the box includes the village, artist, and title of the piece.
