An inro is a case for holding small
objects. Consisting of a stack of tiny, nested, boxes, inro were
most commonly used to carry identity seals and medicines. Inro were
made of a variety of materials, including wood, ivory, bone, and
lacquer. Lacquer was also used to decorate inro made of other
materials. Inro evolved over time from strictly utilitarian articles
into objects of high art and immense craftsmanship. 3 3/4" x 2 5/8"
