Prayer box

A black sackcloth net bag is attached on this item, with the opening of the bag decorated with green glass beads. A sculpted human-figure pattern lies on the box’s front, with a huddled Hundred-pace Snake pattern beside, whose center is embedded with magnetic buttons and body embedded with triangular magnetic pieces. Both sides of the body have a head pattern, a human figure, and the eyes of the Hundred-pace Snake respectively, with round matte nailed on the joints. Its first coat of paint is black in color, and then covered with red paint for the next coating.
