A cylindrical silver filigree box with black lacquer showing through carved floral lace sits on a blush tablecloth, flanked by plates, cutlery and a few scattered beads. The dark gaps between the scrolling vines and rosettes act as the dark modules, while the raised silver ornament forms the light ones and hides the finder squares in its curling leaf work. Strong black against bright silver keeps the pattern readable across the whole body of the box. The softly blurred chairs and table setting behind keep attention on the ornate surface.
