Estate Sale Find

I recently bought this at an estate sale here in the US. It's a heavy box with polished brass ( 黃銅 ) edges and brass hinges. The hinges are brazed ( 釺焊 ) or soldered onto the box, and I think the box itself is solid brass. It has a carving made of unknown material on the lid, and a line art sketch on the bottom.

Does anyone recognize this object or know its age? Thanks!

• 這是雕漆或稱剔紅，紅色材料是漆塗多層形成，乾後雕刻。我看像是上世紀70或80年代的。 -房崇- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/21/2016 postreply 17:50:32

• 謝謝， 我為一位朋友寫這個， 因為不會做很好的翻譯。看了兩個先生的中文的看法， 所以知道了這是什麽。 真剔紅還是假剔紅是什麽？區 -nutsgougou- ♀ (0 bytes) () 02/23/2016 postreply 18:46:50
