Adding to its charm are mother-of-pearl inlays that enhance the beauty of these motifs. The wisteria symbolizes love and support, while the birds represent freedom and perspective. The river signifies life's continuous flow, and the rocks anchor the scene with their stability and endurance. The sides of the box continue the theme of harmony and continuity with a connected seven treasures pattern, signifying interconnection and eternal peace. Crafted with precision, the interior and exterior of the box, including the lid's inner surface and the additional board inside, are finished in black lacquer, maintaining the sleek and elegant look. Despite showing signs of wear, use, and some dirt accumulation, the box remains in reasonable condition. However, there's a fine crack in one of the mother-of-pearl inlays on a rock. Please refer to the accompanying photographs for a closer inspection of this historical piece's condition. Dimensions: approx.
