Case (Inrō) with Design of a Perched Hawk
Rectangular, rounded-corner object with scalloped top edge and rounded bottom edge. Two identical objects side-by-side, each featuring a bird with distinctive markings on head, beak, and feathers. The bird on the left object has lighter-colored feathers with darker tips; the bird on the right object has predominantly dark feathers. Both birds are perched. A patterned band encircles lower third of each object; thin, red, curved lines extend from the bottom of the patterned band toward the bottom of the object. A black cord is looped through a hole at the top of each object. Objects are gold-colored with areas of varying shine. Background behind objects is brown.
