This canister is in fair condition. The cover presents the basic scene of cicada singing and ant working. The small side panels show each doing his respective thing. On one large side panel, the cicada dances while the ant carries an egg as big as his own body. On the other, the shivering cicada comes to the ant, whose negative feelings are as bristly as the broom he carries.

This canister is in very good condition. The cover presents perhaps the most dramatic scene of the five as the flattering fox bows low before the surprised crow. Earlier one broad side showed the crow happy; the fox was only taking notice of him. One smaller side has the cheese falling from the singing crow’s beak. Next the other broad side has the proud fox holding the cheese. The second small side has the fox sad and weeping. Click on the image to see all sides.
