More Information

Losses to the carved decoration in places - most notable are the corners of the cover and one larger section on the top of the cover.
Some more minor losses in other places - the interior and underside lacquer generally presents well with signs of age and use - there is a patch of old glue or resin stuck to one of the sides to the interior.
