Box called "Kuduo" used to store gold powder or small nuggets.
The lid is decorated with a frieze running across it and ending with two rings at the ends where movable handles would have been inserted. The contour of the lid also has a small frieze.
The box is decorated with friezes with geometric patterns. The base is openwork with some missing pieces. The bottom of the box is perforated.
