Summary:
A brightly painted wood box attached at the side to a stand with two feet, with top flaps which stick out to the sides so the box appears open. Bottom of box is made of criss-crossed beams which make a grid. Through this grid are brightly colored and patterned "artificial flowers" which look like skewers with geometric ends.
