Hi peeps, long time since I was here, but I really need your help.
I am writing a story and in it I am trying to describe a complicated map in as simple a way as I can... though I don't think I'm doing it very well :/

Here is the first introduction to the map, straight from chapter 2:

“I promise! It is for real this time.” Leffe lifted up an item that he had been carrying under his arm and placed it on the table with a thunk. “Look - a map!” he said and opened it.
The remarkable thing, Teacup noticed, was that the map did not look like a map at all, but rather like a dusty wooden box. It was about one foot wide and almost as high. The box consisted of several panels, which were screwed together in some strange ingenious way, that not even Teacup could work out, with small wooden hinges along the sides.
There was, however, a map depicted on each of the panels that the box was opened up to, and the amazing thing was that they were three-dimensional. Teacup looked closer and saw that they were not massive panels he was looking at, but ones that were made up of several thin sheets of wood, each layer as thin as an eggshell. Peaks and valleys were indicated by an increased or decreased number of layers.
Teacup forgot himself for a moment and let his fingers touch the fine carvings. It was magnificent, the longer he looked at the map, the stronger his desire became to understand who had made it and what all the little runes and symbols that littered the panels meant. But he finally managed to look away from it. He would not be drawn in just because there was an interesting map in the bargain.

Then, a couple of chapters later we get to look at it closer:

Two grand arched doors, one on each of the top panels, was portrayed on the front of the box. Along the edges of the doors the maker had carved vines, dragons, fairies, and other fairytale creatures in a very dwarfish style, which looked as if Michelangelo had been taught to use a pickaxe instead of a paintbrush.
On its backside there was a long text written in jagged dwarfish runes, which they could not read.
They opened the box. The two top panels opened to the sides, just like the doors illustrated on them, but the panels beneath could be pulled apart, more like opening curtains or sliding doors. Beneath them were two more panels, that could be pulled apart even further, ultimately revealing the large bottom panel that held them all together.
On all of the panels a map was depicted, except on the inside of the first panel, which showed a grand city built into the side of a snow capped mountain.
The individual maps on the other panels looked like they represented the inside of a dwarf mine, with long angled tunnels between square-ish spaces, which could be rooms. Although the forms on the inner panels were not as rigid.
Then there was the bottom panel which could only be examined when all of the other panels had been slid apart. On it was a tree that seemed to be drawn out of one very long line, criss-crossing itself symmetrically a multitude of times, and connecting at some point, forming an infinite shape, where the roots of the tree was just as large and elaborate as its crown.
In every corner and on every edge where there was free space, there were signs, symbols and runes.

Does this description make any sense at all? Can you see the way I want the map to be or is it far too complicated?
I am very grateful for all feedback.

Thanks in advance
