This is a Japanese wooden lacquered lidded box, decorated with an elegant raised gold maki-e design featuring cranes in flight and stylized pine branches. The vivid red lacquer ground is complemented by finely detailed gold decoration, with the crane motifs rendered in relief, creating depth and a strong visual presence. The cranes are executed with delicate line work and layered gold application, suggesting skilled traditional craftsmanship. The gold decoration appears slightly raised, indicating the use of textured maki-e techniques rather than flat printing. The box is constructed from wood and finished with lacquer throughout, including the interior. Its generous size and refined decoration suggest it was intended for ceremonial use, special storage, or formal presentation rather than everyday utility. Based on materials, technique, and surface aging visible in the lacquer and gilding, this piece is considered an antique or early vintage work. ⸻ Size Height: 14 cm Width: 28 cm Depth: ⸻ Weight 890 g / 0.89 kg ⸻ Condition The box is in good antique condition with visible surface wear, fine scratches, and age-related marks consistent with its age.
