item#: 1471864
price: SOLD
Japanese dated Edo period rectangular form wood "senryo-bako" hinged coin box on two geta feet with cast iron hardware including edge brackets, hinges, handle, and front lockplate. A barely readable black ink inscription on the bottom dates the box to the first year of the Bunkiu era (1861). Excluding protruding hardware, the wood measures about 15 1/4" long x 5 7/8"deep x 5 1/2" high. Good, solid overall condition with typical wear from age and use. One iron corner bracket has losses from corrosion and the wood has a few small cracks and tiny chips. From the estate of a Tucson, Arizona World War II veteran who purchased it in Japan in 1954.
