The cover is decorated with a central full-face five-clawed dragon surrounded by four further five-clawed dragons within a scalloped border decorated with key fret. Each of the sixteen lobes of the cover encloses a dragon above a narrow border of bats and clouds, which is repeated on the box, and the lobes of the box enclose rocks amidst crashing waves.
