This print showcases a truly exceptional piece of art and craftsmanship - a rare lacquer casket with an integral drawer, commissioned by the Portuguese during the Momoyama Period (1568-1600). The rectangular casket features a domed hinged cover and a meticulously crafted drawer at its base. Adorned in gold hiramaki-e and adorned with exquisite mother-of-pearl inlays on a striking black background, this ornate creation is nothing short of mesmerizing. The intricate details and masterful technique employed in the making of this objet de vertu are evident upon closer inspection.
