Case (Inrō) with Design of Foreigners, One holding a Cock
Cylindrical case with rounded edges and a flat top and bottom. The case is made up of multiple rectangular panels. The case has a brown background with a textured, speckled pattern. A man with dark skin wearing a wide-brimmed hat holds a rooster on one panel. The man on the other panel has light skin, a mustache and beard, and holds a long object, possibly a plant. The man on the right holds a curved object. The man on the left holds a long object in one hand. A handle protrudes from the top. The case appears to be made of metal.
