The original parts inside are missing, but this is a container meant to hold three or four small thread spools. It would have been further refined with lacquer and carvings, but this one remains unfinished. It is old, so it has age-related scratches, marks, and dirt. It stands on its own, but it's a little unstable. Height: Approximately 12.3cm Sizes are approximate. The actual item may differ slightly in color from the images. Please examine the description and images carefully before purchasing.
