A Japanese lacquered four case inro signed Shunsho, decorated in with a design of of two birds amongst foliage on either side, together with a gilded metal ojime decorated with birds. Although this inro is signed Shunsho, the famous school of lacquerers dating back to the 17th century, this is a later piece, probably not from the Shunsho school, but late Edo work.
