<p>[QUOTE="AuDragon, post: 367309, member: 6974"]I'm with AJ on this one, but I know it as a Travelling Shrine. You carried it with you when you moved from place to place, like on holidays or a pilgrimage. The Japanese seemed to perfect them and some of the gilt shrines are stunning and hugely valuable. This one looks Chinese, and probably tourist, but I am fascinated by the screws. Do you think they are original? I can't see the two sides of the hinges, but I would have expected much older or more professional flat head screws in this. The hinges just look all wrong to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
