An early 20th-century Chinese brass box produced for export and stamped “CHINA” to the base. The rectangular form is decorated with applied cloisonné medallions in relief, each modeled after archaic ritual bronzes revived in Republican-period design.
The enamel colors and cast detailing create a distinct sculptural profile, contrasting with the warm patinated brass body. Interior dividers suggest use as a small personal or desk accessory, typical of export workshops from the era.
Compact in scale, the piece presents a study in historical revival, function, and craftsmanship across cultures.
Provenance details unknown; acquired directly from a Northern California collection.
