This item was received decades ago. It's a lacquered craft item. It has a very chic and nostalgic feel. It could be worn as an accessory on a sweater, or given as a gift to someone from abroad, as it's a traditional craft item and would be appreciated. It has been stored at home for a long time, so there may be some age-related deterioration. This is a used item, so there may be some minor oversights. Please understand this before purchasing. The box is old and bulky, so I will ship the item without the box.
