Vintage Brass and Enamel Japanese Ladybug Trinket Pill Jewelry Box RARE

  

This sale is for a Rare Japanese Pill/Trinket/Jewelry box designed to look like an Asian Lady Beetle. It was made in Japan and has what I believe is a Japanese Patent No. (I can find this number on the Japanese Patent site, but not the US).

The box has a hinged top, a gold reflective interior top and a red velvet lining. The Ladybug measures about 3 1/2 inches long and about 2 1/2 inches wide. I believe it to be made out of brass with red enamel spots. It is quite unique and nice.
