Ford Hallam Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 This is a piece I've owned for over 20 years and which I finally, last year, got round to properly restoring. Edited to add: The box itself is made from a variety of brass/bronze and as can be seen in the close up images exhibits a fine grain crystalline structure. The lining is silver plated brass sheet. The decorative inlays are of gold, silver, varieties of shibuichi, shakudo and red copper I'm offering it for sale at £1500 (or nearest sensible offer) plus postage and any paypal fees. PM me if you're interested, please. It measures around 15cm by 10cm by 5cm high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TETSUGENDO Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 A fine piece beautifully conserved. Very interesting symbolism, longevity,good fortune and enlightenment juxtaposed with impermanence and fragility. -StevenK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
