This is a souvenir I received from my grandfather, and I believe it's from China. It's a lidded small container (a writing box or accessory case). It has a substantial weight, made of a material that looks like stone or stone-like ceramic. It's like a miniature writing box that captures the world of Chinese landscape painting. It features landscape scenery and figures, and the iridescent mother-of-pearl-style decoration shines gently depending on how the light hits it, creating a tasteful design. The interior is simple, and it's recommended for storing accessories, brooches, obi clasps, seals, small mementos, and more. There are signs of aging, minor scratches, and stains, but these are part of its antique and vintage charm. The colors in images 9-10 are the closest to the actual item. Please check the condition of the item in the images. It's a small box carved from stone, with a cool stone texture and a substantial weight. It's also recommended for storing small items like seal cases and accessories. ※ Thank you for your likes. This is a beautiful and atmospheric box with the world of Chinese landscape painting. I would be happy to sell it to someone who likes it. Please feel free to ask any questions or discuss the price. Instant purchase OK I will carefully pack and ship it. #China #LandscapePattern #MotherOfPearl #WritingBox #SmallContainer #StoneMade #Vintage #Shell #LandscapePainting #Crafts #Butterfly
