This elegant box has been painted by Larisa Olisova. Here she has drawn the portrait of Marya Volkonskaya, the wife of the Decembrist, Sergey Volkonsky. The portrait is drawn against the light blue background. Silver powder shines through the bows that decorate the woman's dress and her hair.
The portrait is framed with a simple gold pattern. The panorama of the Neva River embankment drawn in brown orange oils wraps around the box's sides. The box's sides are also decorated with silver blurry spots. The box's exterior is covered with light blue lacquer mixed with silver dust. The interior is traditionally covered with red lacquer. On the box's exterior bottom the artist has written her name, Fedoskino, the title (“From the Depths of Ages”), and the year of 2008. This inscription is written in brown orange oils, and framed with a beautiful pattern drawn also in brown orange oils. The box is made out of paper-mache made. The box has a hinge from the left of the portrait, and rests on a flat bottom.
