An antique Japanese lacquer tray decorated with traditional raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) and maki-e style gold accents.
The surface features a Takara-zukushi (treasure motif) — a classical auspicious design in Japanese decorative arts symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The design includes treasure bag, scrolls, and symbolic objects rendered in colorful raden inlay and lacquer.
The lacquer surface shows a natural age crackle (urushi shrinkage) consistent with early 20th-century lacquerware.
