A Japanese Brass Ikebana Basket

Early to mid 20th century, braided branch handle with leaves and fruit in high relief that continues down to the side of the basket and under a small bird perched on the edge, curled up edge like sides of leaves etched with geometric patterns and the interior with flora, raised on a short circular foot, appears unmarked.

10 1/2 x 16 1/2 x 10 1/2 in.

Discoloration and surface wear throughout.
