The front board is decorated with a finely curved, gilt network of tendrils that spring from the bottom stem and end in maple leaf-like ornaments. In the middle, there is a vellucent panel resembling the shape of a bud or flower blossom: a female figure with butterfly wings, standing on a globe and holding a peacock feather ornamented stick in each of her hands, in front of a double-bordered, and jointed, greenish-yellow background. The butterfly wings are enriched with mother-of-pearl inlays. The back board is without decoration, except for the line running along the edges. The title - THE TEMPEST - is on the spine, framed with tendrils. The doublures are bordered by double lines, with a circle on the middle of the sides that is repeated three times in the corners, enriched with a maple-leaf motif. The endpaper is red, the headband is sewn with red and yellow. The head edges are gilt and punched with flower tendril ornaments.
