Box called "Kuduo" used to store gold powder or small nuggets.
The lid is decorated with a frieze running across it and ending with two rings at the ends where movable handles would have been inserted. The contour of the lid also has a small frieze.
The box is decorated with friezes with geometric patterns. The base is openwork with some missing pieces. The bottom of the box is perforated.
We can see, despite the oxidation, the great finesse of the work.
Copper alloy with green patina.
