Circular tortoiseshell box with lid on a neutral gray backdrop. The tortoiseshell is mostly dark brown with subtle smoke like wisps of a warm honey brown. The lid comprises about a third of the height of the box and fits seamlessly creating the illusion of a solid shape. The lid has a slight domed curve.
