The box features the two characteristic Milton Bradley items. The on purpose torn (pinkish) sticker with Chinese characters and two restored (pink) silk tassels. Tiles (20x30x11mm) are made of wood. The white lacquered top is printed in three colors with Milton Bradley’s own interpretation of characters and images. De bottom in lacquered black. Each Dots 1 shows a different Chinese character.
