Period: Five-Section Inro with Gold Makie of Cranes and Herons, Netsuke, Edo Period Antique

This is a five-section inro with pear-skin ground and gold makie. The gold surface is adorned with makie depicting cranes, herons, ducks, and plum blossoms, covering the entire surface to form a panoramic composition across the five sections. The interior is finished with red lacquer and gold pear-skin ground. The inro measures approximately 9cm in height, 4.6cm in width, and 3cm in depth. The lacquer surface exhibits cracks and wear due to age. The makie patterns are clearly visible across the entire surface. The interior lacquer is in good condition. The netsuke is chrysanthemum-shaped, approximately 4cm by 3.2cm, weighing about 20g, and made of natural materials, with a normal cord hole. The ojime is a small bead made of natural materials. The cord is a purple braided cord, presumed to be from the period. The netsuke, ojime, and cord are generally in good condition. Please confirm all details through the photographs.
