Signed Japanese mixed metal box.

Measures appox 2 inches accross, 1 1/8 inch high; 1 1/8 inch front to back.

Probably dates to late 19th century.

The box is made of heavy brass. All surfaces are decorated with fabulous applied silver and copper relief sculpture (most of it is silver - only one copper bird). The most detailed vignette is on the lid and features 2 large water birds, waterlilies and leaves and a smaller bird flying off into the corner. The detail is fabulous. Other surfaces have other species of flowers and birds depicted and the back has a Japanese signature / mark.

Condition is very good and original with no damage of any sort to be seen.
