This is an antique copper/silver plate ink box with carving. Ink sticks were kept inside and Inside the lid is an ink stone for abrading the ink sticks to make your own ink. The ink stone is cracked. It measures approximately 4 1/4 inches wide x 3" x 1 1/2 inches (outer dimension) deep. The carving depicts cherry blossoms (at least I assume they're cherry), branches of the tree, and some Chinese characters. There are ink stains on the box. There is an artist's stamp on top. If anyone knows what the characters mean, please let me know!
