The palette consists of natural colors that would be found in the environment present in this scene. Demyanenko has a unique style that he uses for this box. The box is carved into a teapot that has a hollow interior. A small handle and spout are covered with green, brown, and olive dye resist. Before the box was painted it must have been dipped into that mixture but left in a few strategic places that were mentioned above.
Gold paint is used in minimal amounts as scrollwork that adds some light to the scene.
The box is made out of paper-mache that is of the finest quality. The box has a hinge and stands upright on a flat bottom. Upon completing the work on this hand sized piece Demyanenko signs his name on the side of the teapot without the composition and writes 2000.
