We have one object in this medium

A vanity case divided into three sections. The center section is a scene, depicting a light-skinned, male-presenting figure on horseback, ascending a rock formation. Under him is a four-legged animal (resembling a muskrat) and above him, hiding behind rocks, are three animals. Two are brown, one is white. The brown ones have unicorn-like horns - one has two horns, one has one. To the left and ride side of this scene are repeating diamond patterns, each shape with a black diamond in the center, surrounded by two borders; one gold and one white border. In between each shape is a red backdrop.
