Japanese porcelain container for jewelry and other small treasures. It is shaped and decorated to resemble a silk embroidered temari ball; these balls were traditionally considered a Japanese folk art and are now regarded as an art form due to the intricacy of the embroidery. Repaired with urushi and 24k gold.
