It has a very elaborate construction, but as it is a very old item, there is overall verdigris and some minor chipping. This item was purchased from a long-time customer of an old family by an acquaintance, an antique dealer in central Kyushu, and I received it from that antique dealer. (Unauthenticated item)*
