Wooden box with a hinged lid lacquered in black with gold leaf and outlined in gold paint. An engraved 14K gold plaque is set into the center of the lid. The lid is hinged at the back and latches at the front with a gold latch in the shape of an oak leaf. The top of the box is decorated with nine hand wrought oak leaves and several acorns applied to the lower left corner of the lid and to the center right. The gold plaque inset into the box lid is engraved on the verso with the signatures of the thirteen executives who presented the box. A removable Lucite divider partitions the box into four rectangular sections.
