DescriptionLow square box (a) with two drawers (b, c) covered with match sticks in alternating marquetry-like patterns. Each drawer front has a rectangular match stick-covered handle. The box sits on four rubber bumpers that are nearly invisible from the front, as the drawer fronts are extended at the bottoms. Drawers have silver metal fiberboard bottoms and traces of blueish-gray paint on sides.
