The front and back panels are nailed across the sides and bottom to form the box. The top is slightly rounded and has a slit opening in oval shape (2 ¼ x ½). The top has a hole on each side (no screws or nails remain) to secure it. The bottom piece and one inside panel have color advertising from a fruit-packaging crate. There is also plain paper on inside of lid. On one inside side panel is a sketch of Heart Mountain in pencil.
