A pair of Japanese? black lacquered trinket boxes consisting of one rectangular and one oval lidded container. Both items feature hand-painted mountainous landscape decorations depicting traditional Japanese pavilions and trees, rendered in green, red, and gold pigments. The gold details are likely executed using the maki-e? technique with metallic powders highlighting the architecture and foliage. Each container is constructed with a simple lift-off lid. The oval box interior displays a subtle gold-flecked nashi-ji? finish.
Rectangular box length: 10.2 cm
Oval box length: 6.4 cm.
