I have here this exquisite brass and copper Chinese scholar's ink box with an engraved poem on the cover. It is quite heavy, weighing close to one pound and 14 ounces on its own. It measures 4 1/4 inches square and 1 1/2 inches thick. Some wear and marks from age as you can see from the photos. I have not tried to polish it.

Please have a look at all the photos for a more detailed description of the item.
