The following pieces of decorated paper covered a box. The box contained a set of fairly mysterious gaming-tiles. The tiles themselves are shown here
The upper cover of the box. It displays a trellis pattern of chrysanthemums and Lotuses. Round medallions bear a text in Chinese. Written in the archaic seal-script, it reads 花開富貴 -- "[may] the Flowers open, and prosperity arrive"
The bottom part of the box displays a fine floral pattern, printed in red.
