AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a commemorative copper paperweight (文鎮) featuring the Chrysanthemum Crest (菊花紋章) motif.

The front displays a finely rendered sixteen-petal chrysanthemum design in relief, symbolically associated with the Japanese Imperial emblem. The warm copper tone has developed a natural patina over time, enhancing its dignified appearance. The reverse side shows subtle decorative finishing consistent with commemorative production pieces.

The paperweight comes housed in its original wooden storage box. It has been kept in long-term storage. No major damage was observed; however, due to age and storage, there may be minor surface wear. Please review the photographs carefully for condition details.

This piece is suitable for collectors of Japanese memorabilia, imperial-related motifs, or traditional desk accessories.
