Small box, shaped like a crouching leopard, with a lid. The box with head, tail and four legs are carved from the same piece of wood and one of the legs is broken and missing. The lid sits within the top of the body. The spots are shaped like open rings and have possibly been stamped into the surface with hot metal. There are also dark rectangular marks on the tail, neck, legs and around the edges of the lid.
