Japanese Antique Brass Stamp Box with applied metal designs from the late Meiji period. Metal craftsmen began making various decorative boxes and other items after Samurai were no longer allowed to carry swords at the beginning of the Meiji period, and these metal designed pieces could no longer be used on sword handles. This stamp box has very detailed designs applied to the sides & top as shown. The top features two women in kimonos with baskets of fish and fruit, with a bird above. The four sides also feature fruit baskets & flowers as shown. A nice addition to any collection of Japanese antique metalwork. Don't miss out! Size: Length: Approximately 4.1cm Width: Approximately 3.1cm Thickness: Approximately 2.2cm Please understand that the color and appearance may differ slightly from the actual item depending on your device. #Antique #Meiji
