On offer is an antique Japanese mixed metal box from the Meiji period, decorated in relief with a finely detailed bamboo motif. The sides feature foliage, birds, and insects, while the lid presents an ornate planter overflowing with large blooms, accompanied by butterflies in flight — a classic Meiji-era combination of naturalistic design and high metalworking skill.

The box measures approximately 80 mm long, 50 mm wide, and 45 mm high. Condition is good, with light age-related wear including minor play to the hinge, though the lid still opens and closes smoothly. Please review the images for full detail.
