Egg-tempera paint is the primary medium used to paint the composition on this box. Shirokov uses a bold palette of paints with colors like, green, red, orange, tan, and brown. With a unique style Shirokov gives the scene good balance and creates quite a bit of activity on the box. He uses gold paint and aluminum paint in minimal amounts, which helps to enhance the colors on in the composition and attract light a good amount of light.
Green lacquer is used to paint the outside and red lacquer is used to paint the inside of the box.
As always, the scrollwork decoration Shirokov paints is extremely precise and intricate. There are two similar scrollwork designs on the box, one framing the scene on the lid and the other, larger one, wrapping around the sides of the box. The box has a hinge located above the composition and rests on four rounded feet. Within the composition Shirokov includes excerpts from the story, which tell the parts of the story depicted on the box. Upon completing the highly skilled work on this piece the artist writes Mstera, the title, and signs his name under the composition on the lid.
