Case (Inrō) with Design of Arrowhead (Omodaka) (obverse); Clover (Mutsuba) (reverse)
A black, curved, two-part object with gold and silver designs. The left side has a large arrowhead plant with long, pointed leaves and a stem with circular elements. There are also some small, white dots around. The right side has a stem with clover-like leaves and small flowers. The background of both parts is black, and the overall design appears to be some form of traditional Japanese art.
