The scene is an absolute delight. The details within the scene are enhanced tremendously by the golden and aluminum contours illuminating each and every inch of the moment composed. Lavish colors and intricate designs patterned upon the clothes of the characters are something to behold. The clarity within the scene is also very impressive. This box is very beautiful.
