Hand-crafted with a lustrous black finish, the piece features exquisite maki-e style hand-painted gold floral motifs, including a prominent central peony and delicate autumnal grasses on the lid, complemented by matching botanical details along the side panels. This versatile item serves both as a functional keepsake for storing jewelry or stationery and as a sophisticated decorative centerpiece for a mantel or shelf. Authenticated by the golden Heian Zohiko maker's mark on the underside.
While this vintage piece remains in great overall condition, it does feature a small mark and a fine hairline crack on one of its corners that do not affect its structural durability or its functionality as a secure storage vessel.
