Case (Inrō) with Design of Deer in a Hilly Landscape
The object is a rounded, rectangular container with a dark brown, metallic surface that appears to be made of lacquer or metal. It features a design of deer in a hilly landscape. The container is divided into two sections side by side. The surface is adorned with a carved scene depicting multiple deer and several hills. The deer are shown in various poses, some running and others standing still, amidst the hilly terrain. The hills are rendered in a simple, textured manner. A rope-like design encircles the top and bottom edges of the container. The background of the image is a plain, neutral color.
