Description from the seller

A black lacquer display cabinet 飾り棚 (kazari dana), decorated with autumn flowers, grasses and a pair of copper-inlaid quails.

On the lower doors, two quails stand among the foliage, one looking upwards and the other nestling beside it. Their copper surfaces are worked with detailed plumage.
