Beautiful Japanese Multi Metal Inlaid Box

This is a beautiful mixed metal inlaid smoking box and tray.  The metal work is done in silver, shakudo, shibuichi and copper.  These types of inlaid silver boxes were made for the export market during the meiji period.  In my opinion Japanese soft metal work is the best metal work ever done.  This piece displays very well and only has minor damage.  The pictures do not do this piece of meiji artwork justice.
