Japanese Clamshell Box with Silver Onlay and Lining

A magnificent box made from a real clamshell, with a flawless, beautifully patinated, silver onlay floriform motif to the lid. As incredible as the lid is, the real magic happens when you open it: the interior is lined with silver, yet the two halves fit together as perfectly as nature intended. An astounding piece of work by an anonymous Japanese artist. Age unknown - listed as 20th century, but possibly much older. The condition is perfect.
