For your consideration is this lovely Japanese Wood Lined Cigarette Box.  Dimensions are 6" left to right x 1/4" front to back  x 2" high. This type of box was originally used to store cigarettes. You can use it for that or as trinket or jewelry box. The top has an undulating dragon in high relief along with two Japanese Words or characters. The sides are embossed with flying cranes over water design.  What is so nice about the this design is that part of the wings of the cranes are on the side panels and the tips of the wings are on the hinged lid.  They line up perfectly. The bottom is marked "Made in Japan".  The condition is very good.  The inside wood liner is in excellent undamaged condition.  The inside of the lid is bright gold.  The outside could use light cleaning ~ I did not want to damage the finish by using my cleaning methods, so will leave that to new owner.  No dings or dents to the metal.  Really great oriental box.
