<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mmarco102, post: 390696, member: 8289&quot;]Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I obtained this woman’s box/jewelry(?) at an estate sale and find the level of detail and age appearance to be genuine. It is 4.5” long by 2.5” wide and 1.25” tall. Heavy bronze&nbsp; or brass with some type of black stone/wood(?) inlay. The inlay has a oriental woman on top which appears to be holding a five finger baby dragon or maybe a dragon scraf(?). There is gold gilt(?) coloring decorating her wardrobe and hair combs. The detail in her dress is not visible without a loupe but appears to be floral made with mini dots. The two long sides of box are detailed beautifully with leafs and three circle with image inside circles as well as the top and bottom each with one image inside circle. The inside is shinny brassish looking but very aged. The stamp on the bottom is a very old version of Chinese writting per my girl friend that is Chinese and to her best can only guess the first symbole to be Shī(family name?) and the second being ma (horse). These are only guesses. We found&nbsp; the second(left side) word on line. Of course the two sybols combimed in chinese can take on a whole diferent meaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.[ATTACH=full]135522[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]135523[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]135524[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]135525[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]135526[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]135522[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
