Box from set of five decorated with cranes and clouds

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Round, gray ceramic box with a lid, featuring gold-colored designs. The lid has a circular pattern with a starburst-like motif at the top, accompanied by several small holes. The box's body and lid display a wavy, gold-colored line design. The box is set against a gray background that darkens towards the top. The box appears to be part of a set of five, decorated with cranes and clouds, by an unspecified artist.
