The pencil box is rectangular with rounded corners, lacquered black on the outside with a smooth, even finish. The rim is wrapped in silver for added durability and practicality. The interior is lacquered with a pear-colored base, exuding luxury and elegance. The flat interior makes it easy to store small items. The small plate is lacquered in vermilion and depicts a scene of a literary gathering with bamboo and reeds. Seven scholars are shown, one standing with a scroll open, while the others are either seated or standing, all refined and cultured.

This family-patterned, high-quality pear-patterned lacquer scholar's box features layers upon layers of pear-patterned gold paint, indicating a demanding production environment. It is also edged with silver. The "pear-pattern" technique refers to a luxurious lacquerware technique that evolved from the Tang and Song dynasty style of openwork goldwork, creating a pattern resembling the spots on a pear skin.
