The paint box, made of light wood, has the form of a rectangular case. Two metal hinges on the back allow it to open, while metal clasps at the front secure it closed. At the center of the front edge is a metal handle for carrying. The inside of the lid shows faint horizontal cracks in the wood.
The interior is divided into compartments. A horizontal section at the top holds paintbrushes, while three vertical partitions below contain small tubes of paint. The interior bears clear traces of use, with visible paint stains.
