Case (Inrō) with Design of Chinese Children at Play
Cylindrical case with rounded edges and a flat bottom. The case is made of dark brown material, possibly wood or lacquer, with a rope-like design around the bottom edge. Two black straps are visible at the top. The case features a design of multiple small children playing. On the left side, children are gathered around a large fish; one child holds a stick with a red object on the end. On the right side, children play with various objects, including a bird flying above. The children are depicted wearing traditional clothing. The case is divided into two panels, each with a continuous scene.
