Writing Box (Suzuribako) with Phoenix in Paulownia (base)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Square writing box with a brown, speckled, and scratched surface. A thin brass-colored metal frame surrounds the box with rounded corners. The lid of the box is closed. A phoenix design on a paulownia tree branch and leaves are depicted on the base. The phoenix faces right with its wings spread and tail feathers trailing behind. The branch and leaves are on the bottom left corner of the box base. The background fades from black at the top to gray at the bottom.
