18th. century zitan wood box with brass handles and ornaments, contains 6 exquisite white jade seals with the handle carved in high relief and open work in shape of a kilin (unicorn).

Size of box: 7.5" X 4.8" x 4" ((19 cm. X 12 cm. x 10 cm.). Seal size: 2" x 1.2" (5 cm. X 3 cm.). Estimated value: $18.000.
