<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3464196, member: 8363"]I think this miniature diorama is Japanese, but I'm not sure. I found a collection of tiny painted cast metal and ceramic pieces in a plastic bag, and some rocks in a cast metal tray that obviously was filled with water at one time. Some of the cast metal pieces are quite intricate like the metal cart with wheels that turn and a tiny whip in the driver's hand; two of the small metal boats have cloth sails and the tiny figures (1 inch high) have a lot of detail. The ceramic pieces are less detailed but nicely done. There is one resin piece - a small brown house. It looks like pieces were added over the years. The rocks are just standard river rocks. The tray is 12" long and 8" wide. I would like to arrange it in a display but don't know what it should look like. Can someone help?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]303426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303428[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]303435[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
